SCA: security update for litestar (GHSA-93ph-p7v4-hwh4)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437653

Description

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

 - Litestar is an Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI) framework. Prior to 2.20.0, in
 litestar.middleware.allowed_hosts, allowlist entries are compiled into regex patterns in a way that allows
 regex metacharacters to retain special meaning (e.g., . matches any character). This enables a bypass
 where an attacker supplies a host that matches the regex but is not the intended literal hostname. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 2.20.0. (CVE-2026-25479)
