SCA: security update for ormar (GHSA-xxh2-68g9-8jqr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437936

Description

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

- Ormar is a async mini ORM for Python. In versions 0.9.9 through 0.22.0, when performing aggregate queries,
Ormar ORM constructs SQL expressions by passing user-supplied column names directly into
`sqlalchemy.text()` without any validation or sanitization. The `min()` and `max()` methods in the
`QuerySet` class accept arbitrary string input as the column parameter. While `sum()` and `avg()` are
partially protected by an `is_numeric` type check that rejects non-existent fields, `min()` and `max()`
skip this validation entirely. As a result, an attacker-controlled string is embedded as raw SQL inside
the aggregate function call. Any unauthorized user can exploit this vulnerability to read the entire
database contents, including tables unrelated to the queried model, by injecting a subquery as the column
parameter. Version 0.23.0 contains a patch. (CVE-2026-26198)
