high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442817

Description

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

 - Python Liquid is a Python engine for the Liquid template language. Prior to 2.2.0, the built-in
 FileSystemLoader and CachingFileSystemLoader do not guard against reading files outside their search paths
 when given an absolute path to resolve. This allows malicious template authors to load and render
 arbitrary files via the {% include %} and {% render %} tags. Targeted files would need to contain valid
 Liquid markup and be readable by the application process. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.0.
 (CVE-2026-45017)

Solution

Update the python-liquid library and its related packages to version 2.2.0 or later.
