SCA: security update for keras (GHSA-36fq-jgmw-4r9c)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435376

Description

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

 - The Keras Model.load_model method can be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution, even with
 safe_mode=True. One can create a specially crafted .keras model archive that, when loaded via
 Model.load_model, will trigger arbitrary code to be executed. This is achieved by crafting a special
 config.json (a file within the .keras archive) that will invoke
 keras.config.enable_unsafe_deserialization() to disable safe mode. Once safe mode is disable, one can use
 the Lambda layer feature of keras, which allows arbitrary Python code in the form of pickled code. Both
 can appear in the same archive. Simply the keras.config.enable_unsafe_deserialization() needs to appear
 first in the archive and the Lambda with arbitrary code needs to be second. (CVE-2025-9906)

Solution

Update the keras library and its related packages to version 3.11.0 or later.
