Echo: python-multipart: security update to 0.0.31

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463753

Description

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

 - Python-Multipart is a streaming multipart parser for Python. Prior to 0.0.31, parse_form() did not
 validate the Content-Length header before using it to bound its chunked read of the request body. A
 negative Content-Length turned the bounded read into a read-until-EOF, so the entire body was loaded into
 memory in a single read instead of in fixed-size chunks. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.0.31.
 (CVE-2026-53540)

Solution

Update the python-multipart library and its related packages to version 0.0.31 or later.
