SCA: security update for nicegui (GHSA-9ffm-fxg3-xrhh)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437580

Description

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

- NiceGUI is a Python-based UI framework. Prior to 3.7.0, NiceGUI's FileUpload.name property exposes client-
supplied filename metadata without sanitization, enabling path traversal when developers use the pattern
UPLOAD_DIR / file.name. Malicious filenames containing ../ sequences allow attackers to write files
outside intended directories, with potential for remote code execution through application file overwrites
in vulnerable deployment patterns. This design creates a prevalent security footgun affecting applications
following common community patterns. Note: Exploitation requires application code incorporating file.name
into filesystem paths without sanitization. Applications using fixed paths, generated filenames, or
explicit sanitization are not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.7.0. (CVE-2026-25732)

Solution

Update the nicegui library and its related packages to version 3.7.0 or later.
