Google: dev-python/oauthlib: security update to 20198.0.0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 475686

Description

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

 - OAuthLib is an implementation of the OAuth request-signing logic for Python 3.6+. From 3.0.0 until 4.0.0,
 OAuthLib's PKCE checks in oauthlib/oauth2/rfc6749/grant_types/authorization_code.py compare attacker-
 supplied code_verifier values with stored challenges using ordinary string equality in
 code_challenge_method_plain and code_challenge_method_s256. Because the comparison can return after a
 length difference or the first mismatching character, repeated token endpoint measurements can reveal
 common-prefix timing information that could potentially allow recovery of the code_verifier, unauthorized
 access-token acquisition, and account takeover. Practical exploitation requires an intercepted, single-use
 authorization code and enough measurements to overcome real-world network noise; the local timing
 benchmark does not establish practical remote account takeover, so the weakness remains a defense-in-depth
 concern. This issue is fixed in version 4.0.0. (CVE-2026-49265)

Solution

Update the dev-python/oauthlib library and its related packages to version 20198.0.0 or later.
