SCA: security update for vyper (GHSA-qhr6-mgqr-mchm)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446740

Description

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

 - Vyper is the Pythonic Programming Language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. In versions up to and
 including 0.4.2rc1, `concat()` may skip evaluation of side effects when the length of an argument is zero.
 This is due to a fastpath in the implementation which skips evaluation of argument expressions when their
 length is zero. In practice, it would be very unusual in user code to construct zero-length bytestrings
 using an expression with side-effects, since zero-length bytestrings are typically constructed with the
 empty literal `b""`; the only way to construct an empty bytestring which has side effects would be with
 the ternary operator introduced in v0.3.8, e.g. `b"" if self.do_some_side_effect() else b""`. The fix is
 available in pull request 4644 and expected to be part of the 0.4.2 release. As a workaround, don't have
 side effects in expressions which construct zero-length bytestrings. (CVE-2025-47285)
