SCA: security update for daphne (GHSA-xh68-hfp5-5x5m)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444653

Description

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

- daphne before 4.2.2 reconstructs a raw HTTP request from Twisted's parsed headers and feeds it to autobahn
for WebSocket handshake processing. Twisted does not treat \x0b, \x0c, \x1c, \x1d, \x1e, or \x85 as header
line separators, but autobahn decodes header values to str and calls splitlines(). An attacker can exploit
this parser differential to inject additional headers into the ASGI scope passed to the application.
daphne now rejects requests with these bytes in any header value with a 400 response. (CVE-2026-44546)

Solution

Update the daphne library and its related packages to version 4.2.2 or later.
