SCA: security update for ddtrace (GHSA-p3m5-h5v9-vqj6)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477603

Description

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

 - Datadog dd-trace-py is the Datadog Python APM client. From 3.13.0 until 4.15.5, the IAST string-processing
 instrumentation does not properly handle certain internal errors while old-style % string formatting
 processes attacker-controlled input. An unhandled error can terminate the Python process and interrupt the
 work it is handling. Exploitation requires IAST to be enabled, which is not the default, and application
 code to apply the affected formatting operation to attacker-controlled input. This issue is fixed in
 version 4.15.5. (CVE-2026-116589)

Solution

Update the ddtrace library and its related packages to version 4.15.5 or later.
