Vulnerability Details

An issue was discovered in Pillow before 10.0.0. It is a Denial of Service that uncontrollably allocates memory to process a given task, potentially causing a service to crash by having it run out of memory.

I'm looking into this. Not sure how pillow is being included. I'll check which dependency is installing it and post it here.

It seems, Pillow is being installed by matplotlib, sentence_transformer. After creating virtual environments and installing both requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt, I see that Pillow==10.0.1 is being installed. Which has the vulnerability fixed.
