medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477794

Description

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

 - filelock is a platform-independent file lock for Python. From 3.20.4 until 4.0.9, ReadWriteLock and
 AsyncReadWriteLock versions from 3.20.4 resolve the lock path and pass it to SQLite without rejecting a
 final symbolic link, allowing another local user who can create names in the lock directory to redirect
 database creation and locking or split mutual exclusion between targets. This issue is fixed in version
 4.0.9. (CVE-2026-112936)

Solution

Update the filelock library and its related packages to version 4.0.9 or later.
