SCA: security update for pipecat-ai (GHSA-hqm2-cfx2-2vgh)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 474674

Description

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

 - Pipecat is an open-source Python framework for building real-time voice and multimodal conversational
 agents. From 0.0.98 until 1.6.0, the pipecat-ai package's built-in development runner exposes
 unauthenticated endpoints including /start, /daily, and /daily-dialin-webhook that can create bot sessions
 and Daily rooms. The runner binds to localhost by default and is intended only for local development, so
 exploitation requires an operator to expose it to untrusted traffic through --host 0.0.0.0, a published
 port, or a tunnel without access controls. An unauthenticated caller can consume local resources and
 third-party quotas and, depending on configuration, receive a room URL and join token. Version 1.6.0 adds
 a prominent development-runner banner and documentation that clarifies the unauthenticated boundary and
 directs production deployments to an authenticated dispatcher or managed runtime, while the endpoint
 behavior remains by design. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.0. (CVE-2026-102682)

Solution

Update the pipecat-ai library and its related packages to version 1.6.0 or later.
