SCA: security update for authlib (GHSA-fch4-3c6x-j4gc)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477599

Description

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

 - Authlib is a Python library which builds OAuth and OpenID Connect servers. Prior to 1.9.0, the default RFC
 7523 JWTBearerGrant.get_audiences() returns an empty list, causing JWTBearerGrant.verify_claims() to
 require only that an aud claim exists without matching the current authorization server. An attacker
 holding a legitimate assertion for another service can present it to a server that shares the signing key
 and uses the default grant, obtaining an access token across a trust boundary. Implementations that
 override get_audiences() with the server's valid audience identifiers are not affected. This issue is
 fixed in version 1.9.0. (CVE-2026-114618)

Solution

Update the authlib library and its related packages to version 1.9.0 or later.
