SCA: security update for stanza (GHSA-v5jw-96jm-7h2c)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443738

Description

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

 - Stanza is a Stanford NLP Python library for tokenization, sentence segmentation, NER, and parsing of many
 human languages. Prior to 1.12.2, Stanza model loaders such as
 stanza.models.common.pretrain.Pretrain.load() attempt torch.load(..., weights_only=True) but fall back to
 torch.load(..., weights_only=False) on attacker-controllable pickle.UnpicklingError, allowing a malicious
 .pt pretrain or model file to execute arbitrary pickle code when a Stanza NLP pipeline loads it. This
 issue is fixed in version 1.12.2. (CVE-2026-54499)

Solution

Update the stanza library and its related packages to version 1.12.2 or later.
