SCA: security update for marimo (GHSA-2679-6mx9-h9xc)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440087

Description

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

- marimo is a reactive Python notebook. Prior to 0.23.0, Marimo has a Pre-Auth RCE vulnerability. The
terminal WebSocket endpoint /terminal/ws lacks authentication validation, allowing an unauthenticated
attacker to obtain a full PTY shell and execute arbitrary system commands. Unlike other WebSocket
endpoints (e.g., /ws) that correctly call validate_auth() for authentication, the /terminal/ws endpoint
only checks the running mode and platform support before accepting connections, completely skipping
authentication verification. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.23.0. (CVE-2026-39987)

Solution

Update the marimo library and its related packages to version 0.23.0 or later.
