SCA: security update for Pillow (GHSA-p8hx-v2p6-rp84)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476871

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 13.0.0, MpoImageFile.seek() and DcxImageFile.seek() reparse
 later MPO or DCX frames and replace self._size without rerunning Image._decompression_bomb_check(). A
 crafted multi-frame image can use a tiny first frame to pass Image.open() and then declare an over-limit
 later frame. Normal frame iteration through seek(), load(), or ImageSequence.Iterator can decode that
 frame and commit hundreds of megabytes or more, causing memory-exhaustion denial of service. This issue is
 fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-96636)

Solution

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