SCA: security update for hydra-core (GHSA-rqx7-p7vv-w7hr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473649

Description

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

- Hydra is a framework for elegantly configuring complex applications. From 1.3.4 until 1.3.6 and
1.4.0.dev9, the instantiate() target blacklist introduced for CVE-2026-68508 incompletely checks the
effective callable selected by the target field. Execution wrappers such as timeit.timeit, executable
deserialization through pickle.loads, aliases, callable-returning helpers, generic dispatch, and deferred
calls can obscure or defer the effective target and bypass name-based authorization. An attacker who
causes an application to instantiate untrusted Hydra configuration can use these gaps to execute code with
the application's privileges. This issue is fixed in versions 1.3.6 and 1.4.0.dev9. (CVE-2026-106442)

Solution

Update the hydra-core library and its related packages to version 1.3.6 or later.
