SCA: security update for djust (GHSA-7prp-2623-8g45)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 478594

Description

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

 - djust provides Phoenix LiveView-style reactive server-side rendering for Django with Rust-powered
 performance. Prior to version 1.0.7, the djust live transport resolves the LiveView to mount from a
 client-supplied dotted path by calling `__import__(module_path, ...)`. The module is imported — running
 its top-level code (import side effects) — before the framework checks that the resolved object is a
 `LiveView` subclass and before any per-view authentication. The `LIVEVIEW_ALLOWED_MODULES` allowlist that
 should contain this is fail-open (`if allowed_modules:` — skipped when the setting is unset, the framework
 default) and uses loose `startswith` matching. An unauthenticated WebSocket client (the WS handshake does
 not require auth; per-view auth runs only after import + instantiate) can therefore send a `mount` /
 `live_redirect_mount` / `url_change` frame (or an SSE mount) with `view =
 "<any.importable.module>.AnyName"` and cause the server to import — and execute the top-level code of —
 any importable Python module by name. Version 1.0.7 fixes the issue with a fail-closed resolution gate
 (`djust._view_resolution.is_view_import_allowed`): a client view path resolves only if (a) its module is
 already loaded (`sys.modules` — so resolving runs no new code; URL-routed views loaded by URLconf at
 startup keep working with zero config) or (b) it matches `LIVEVIEW_ALLOWED_MODULES` on a module-segment
 boundary (explicit opt-in for lazily-imported views). The gate runs before `__import__` at all three sinks
 (+ defense-in-depth inside `_instantiate_view`). As a workaround, set `LIVEVIEW_ALLOWED_MODULES` to the
 narrow list of modules that contain your mountable LiveView classes. (Note: pre-patch the allowlist is
 `startswith`-matched and the import still precedes the subclass check, so this is mitigation, not a
 complete fix.) (CVE-2026-61599)

Solution

Update the djust library and its related packages to version 1.0.7 or later.
