SCA: security update for pgadmin4 (GHSA-hr4r-fwpv-c95j)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442102

Description

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

 - Symbolic-link path traversal (CWE-61, CWE-22) in pgAdmin 4 File Manager. check_access_permission used
 os.path.abspath, which resolves '..' but does not resolve symbolic links, while the subsequent kernel
 write follows symlinks. An authenticated user could plant a symbolic link inside their own storage
 directory pointing outside it and induce pgAdmin to write to any path reachable by the pgAdmin process.
 Fix switches the access check to os.path.realpath for both source and destination, and adds an
 _open_upload_target helper that opens the target with O_NOFOLLOW (mode 0o600) to close the leaf-component
 TOCTOU between the access check and the open. File mode is hardened from 0o644 to 0o600. This issue
 affects pgAdmin 4: before 9.15. (CVE-2026-7819)

Solution

Update the pgadmin4 library and its related packages to version 9.15 or later.
