SCA: security update for poetry (GHSA-2599-h6xx-hpxp)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439643

Description

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

 - Poetry is a dependency manager for Python. From version 1.4.0 to before version 2.3.3, a crafted wheel can
 contain ../ paths that Poetry writes to disk without containment checks, allowing arbitrary file write
 with the privileges of the Poetry process. It is reachable from untrusted package artifacts during normal
 install flows. (Normally, installing a malicious wheel is not sufficient for execution of malicious code.
 Malicious code will only be executed after installation if the malicious package is imported or invoked by
 the user.). This issue has been patched in version 2.3.3. (CVE-2026-34591)

Solution

Update the poetry library and its related packages to version 2.3.3 or later.
