SCA: security update for deepdiff (GHSA-mw26-5g2v-hqw3)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435191

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - DeepDiff is a project focused on Deep Difference and search of any Python data. Versions 5.0.0 through
 8.6.0 are vulnerable to class pollution via the Delta class constructor, and when combined with a gadget
 available in DeltaDiff, it can lead to Denial of Service and Remote Code Execution (via insecure Pickle
 deserialization) exploitation. The gadget available in DeepDiff allows
 `deepdiff.serialization.SAFE_TO_IMPORT` to be modified to allow dangerous classes such as posix.system,
 and then perform insecure Pickle deserialization via the Delta class. This potentially allows any Python
 code to be executed, given that the input to Delta is user-controlled. Depending on the application where
 DeepDiff is used, this can also lead to other vulnerabilities. This is fixed in version 8.6.1.
 (CVE-2025-58367)
