SCA: security update for pillow (GHSA-p4wg-p73j-c528)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476414
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 5.1.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow can exhaust resources while parsing an
existing PDF during an append operation. PdfParser follows page-tree child references without cycle or
duplication tracking and follows previous-trailer chains with only an exact repeated-offset guard, so deep
or cyclic page trees and long chains of unique trailer offsets can exhaust the Python stack. Repeated non-
cyclic /Kids references can also cause super-linear CPU and memory use. An attacker can supply such a PDF
to an application that calls Image.save with PDF append enabled. This can raise an uncaught RecursionError
or consume excessive CPU and memory before output is written, causing denial of service. This issue is
fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112895)
Solution
Update the pillow library and its related packages to version 13.0.0 or later.See Also
