SCA: security update for edx-enterprise (GHSA-64cv-vxpr-j6vc)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442726

Description

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

 - The Open edx Enterprise Service app provides enterprise features to the Open edX platform. From 7.0.2 to
 7.0.4, the sync_provider_data endpoint in SAMLProviderDataViewSet fetches SAML metadata from a URL stored
 in SAMLProviderConfig.metadata_source. An authenticated user with the Enterprise Admin role can set this
 field to an arbitrary URL via the SAMLProviderConfigViewSet PATCH endpoint, then trigger a server-side
 HTTP request by calling sync_provider_data. The fetch in fetch_metadata_xml() passes the URL directly to
 requests.get() with no scheme enforcement, IP filtering, or timeout. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.5.
 (CVE-2026-42860)

Solution

Update the edx-enterprise library and its related packages to version 7.0.5 or later.
