SCA: security update for llama-index (GHSA-rg9h-vx28-xxp5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435611

Description

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

 - The llama_index library version 0.12.33 sets the NLTK data directory to a subdirectory of the codebase by
 default, which is world-writable in multi-user environments. This configuration allows local users to
 overwrite, delete, or corrupt NLTK data files, leading to potential denial of service, data tampering, or
 privilege escalation. The vulnerability arises from the use of a shared cache directory instead of a user-
 specific one, making it susceptible to local data tampering and denial of service. (CVE-2025-7707)
