Echo: pyjwt: security update to 2.15.0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 471080

Description

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

 - PyJWT is a Python implementation of JSON Web Token standards. From 2.0.0a1 until 2.15.0, PyJWT
 PyJWKClient.get_signing_key_from_jwt is affected because payload parser catches ValueError but not
 RecursionError. This occurs when an attacker-controlled recursively nested payload reaches json.loads. As
 a result, documented PyJWT exception handling does not contain the failure. Consequently, an
 unauthenticated request can raise an exception that may produce an HTTP 500 response. The advisory-defined
 affected implementation also includes jwt/api_jwt.py, verify_signature=False. This issue is fixed in
 version 2.15.0. (CVE-2026-101918)

Solution

Update the pyjwt library and its related packages to version 2.15.0 or later.
