SCA: security update for virtualenv (GHSA-4f8h-vr72-p32c)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477204

Description

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

 - virtualenv is a tool for creating isolated virtual python environments. From 21.14.8 until 21.14.10, the
 app-data seeder can leave an environment linked to temporary package files that virtualenv deletes when
 creation finishes. The environment-variable and configuration-file forms of symlink_app_data can enable
 this state even though the command-line flag is disabled for temporary app-data. The resulting environment
 depends on a cache pathname that its owner no longer controls. This issue is fixed in version 21.14.10.
 (CVE-2026-113713)

Solution

Update the virtualenv library and its related packages to version 21.14.10 or later.
