SCA: security update for nicegui (GHSA-pq7c-x8g4-rvp6)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442119

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, two FastAPI routes that serve per-
component static assets in NiceGUI accept a sub-path parameter that may resolve to a directory rather than
a file. Requests that resolve to a directory raise an unhandled RuntimeError inside Starlette's
FileResponse, which Uvicorn writes to the server log as a full traceback. Because the routes are reachable
without authentication, a remote attacker can amplify log volume and consume disk and log-pipeline
capacity on any publicly reachable NiceGUI server. This issue has been patched in version 3.12.0.
(CVE-2026-45554)

Solution

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