SCA: security update for giskard-checks (GHSA-rq2q-4r55-9877)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440355

Description

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

 - Giskard is an open-source testing framework for AI models. In versions prior to 1.0.2b1, the RegexMatching
 check passes a user-supplied regular expression pattern directly to Python's re.search() without any
 timeout or complexity guard. A crafted regex pattern can trigger catastrophic backtracking, causing the
 process to hang indefinitely. Exploitation requires write access to a check definition and subsequent
 execution of the test suite. This issue has been fixed in giskard-checks version 1.0.2b1. (CVE-2026-40319)

Solution

Update the giskard-checks library and its related packages to version 1.0.2b1 or later.
