Echo: werkzeug: security update to 3.1.9

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473575

Description

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

 - Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Prior to 3.1.9, the safe_join function used by
 send_from_directory can allow a NUL: special-device path because safe_join checks the Windows device name
 without first removing an empty NTFS ADS marker. The trigger is that an application runs on Windows with
 NTFS and serves a user-specified path ending in a special device name such as NUL:. The attack mechanism
 is that a requested path ends in a Windows special device name with an empty ADS marker. The impact is
 that the special device opens successfully and the file read hangs indefinitely. This issue is fixed in
 version 3.1.9. (CVE-2026-102598)

Solution

Update the werkzeug library and its related packages to version 3.1.9 or later.
