SCA: security update for Pillow (GHSA-q45j-58j2-45rg)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476412

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 5.3.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow can return uninitialized memory as
 pixels when libtiff performs a short decode of JPEG-compressed or Group 4 fax TIFF data. The _decodeStrip
 and _decodeTile buffers can be larger than the bytes written by libtiff, but Pillow converts the expected
 rows without clearing the unwritten tail. The tile path is affected from 5.3.0 and the strip path from
 6.0.0. An attacker can supply a crafted TIFF to an application that loads and returns or re-encodes its
 pixels. This can disclose stale heap contents without memory corruption or a process crash. This issue is
 fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112897)

Solution

Update the Pillow library and its related packages to version 13.0.0 or later.
