Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub advisory GHSA-jrc7-96c5-q579 and trace how plotly.py uses plotly.js and its MapLibre GL JS dependency. Confirm the currently bundled MapLibre version and determine whether the dependency can be upgraded to 6.4.1 or later; done means the vulnerable version is no longer included and the relevant dependency checks pass.

Description

bug P1 size: 1

According to https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-jrc7-96c5-q579 there is a Vulnerability in the MapLibre GL JS that is being used within the plotly.js library.

From my understanding plotly.py is also using plotly.js in the background.

According to to MapLibre this is only being patched for >=6.4.1

"Please upgrade to maplibre-gl version 6.4.1 (or latest)."

Plotly.js is still using version v5.

Any recommendations how to handle this?
