Echo: pyjwt: security update to 2.14.0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 471618

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 2.13.0 until 2.14.0, PyJWT
 HMACAlgorithm.prepare_key is affected because HMAC key guard only recognizes top-level public JWK forms
 and misses container representations. This occurs when an application allows HMAC and asymmetric
 algorithms and passes a public JWK container as the raw key. As a result, public asymmetric key material
 is accepted as the HMAC secret. Consequently, an attacker who knows the public key can forge a token with
 arbitrary authenticated claims. This issue is fixed in version 2.14.0. (CVE-2026-102273)

Solution

Update the pyjwt library and its related packages to version 2.14.0 or later.
