SCA: security update for fickling (GHSA-q5qq-mvfm-j35x)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436665

Description

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

 - Fickling is a Python pickling decompiler and static analyzer. Prior to version 0.1.7, the unsafe_imports()
 method in Fickling's static analyzer fails to flag several high-risk Python modules that can be used for
 arbitrary code execution. Malicious pickles importing these modules will not be detected as unsafe,
 allowing attackers to bypass Fickling's primary static safety checks. This issue has been patched in
 version 0.1.7. (CVE-2026-22609)
