Echo: python-webob: security update to 1:1.8.6-3-e1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465467

Description

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

 - WebOb provides objects for HTTP requests and responses. When WebOb normalizes the HTTP Location header to
 include the request hostname, it does so by parsing the URL that the user is to be redirected to with
 Python's urlparse, and joining it to the base URL. `urlparse` however treats a `//` at the start of a
 string as a URI without a scheme, and then treats the next part as the hostname. `urljoin` will then use
 that hostname from the second part as the hostname replacing the original one from the request. This
 vulnerability is patched in WebOb version 1.8.8. (CVE-2024-42353)

Solution

Update the python-webob library and its related packages to version 1:1.8.6-3-e1 or later.
