SCA: security update for cairosvg (GHSA-c3jg-qh8m-j3h2)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473985

Description

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

 - CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo, a 2D graphics library. Prior to 2.9.1, rendering an attacker-
 controlled SVG with a path containing many segments can cause quadratic CPU consumption in
 cairosvg/path.py. The path tokenizer repeatedly slices and rescans the remaining path data, while
 draw_markers drains node.vertices with node.vertices.pop(0), causing repeated linear-time work. The
 svg2png, svg2pdf, and svg2ps APIs reach these operations during ordinary rendering, allowing a sub-
 megabyte SVG to consume substantial CPU and deny service to a rendering application. This issue is fixed
 in version 2.9.1. (CVE-2026-107378)

Solution

Update the cairosvg library and its related packages to version 2.9.1 or later.
