SCA: security update for nicegui (GHSA-jfrm-rx66-g536)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442111

Description

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

 - NiceGUI is a Python-based UI framework. Prior to version 3.12.0, ui.restructured_text() renders
 reStructuredText server-side with Docutils without disabling file insertion directives. When a NiceGUI
 application passes attacker-controlled content to ui.restructured_text(), an attacker can use standard
 Docutils directives (include, csv-table with :file:, raw with :file:) to read local files readable by the
 NiceGUI server process. Applications that only pass trusted static strings to ui.restructured_text() are
 not affected. This issue has been patched in version 3.12.0. (CVE-2026-45553)

Solution

Update the nicegui library and its related packages to version 3.12.0 or later.
