SCA: security update for Pillow (GHSA-5xm2-6676-qcp9)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476594

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 8.1.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow can allocate an APNG disposal
 background at the full canvas size before applying the decompression-bomb check. A crafted APNG with a
 small first frame, a very large declared canvas, and background disposal or first-frame OP_PREVIOUS
 reaches PngImageFile._seek while Image.open() positions frame zero. The full-canvas allocation occurs
 inside Image.open() without requiring pixel loading or frame iteration. This can exhaust memory and deny
 service. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112399)

Solution

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