SCA: security update for tinytag (GHSA-f4rq-2259-hv29)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439094

Description

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

 - tinytag is a Python library for reading audio file metadata. Version 2.2.0 allows an attacker who can
 supply MP3 files for parsing to trigger a non-terminating loop while the library parses an ID3v2 SYLT
 (synchronized lyrics) frame. In server-side deployments that automatically parse attacker-supplied files,
 a single 498-byte MP3 can cause the parsing operation to stop making progress and remain busy until the
 worker or process is terminated. The root cause is that _parse_synced_lyrics assumes _find_string_end_pos
 always returns a position greater than the current offset. That assumption is false when no string
 terminator is present in the remaining frame content. This issue has been fixed in version 2.2.1.
 (CVE-2026-32889)

Solution

Update the tinytag library and its related packages to version 2.2.1 or later.
