high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435945

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in 5.1 before 5.1.14, 4.2 before 4.2.26, and 5.2 before 5.2.8. NFKC normalization
in Python is slow on Windows. As a consequence, `django.http.HttpResponseRedirect`,
`django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect`, and the shortcut `django.shortcuts.redirect` were subject to
a potential denial-of-service attack via certain inputs with a very large number of Unicode characters.
Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be
affected. Django would like to thank Seokchan Yoon for reporting this issue. (CVE-2025-64458)
