These issues and PRs concern recurring CVEs in pinned Python dependencies—primarily cryptography, starlette, and python-multipart—and related problems with tooling (hermes, uv.lock) that may leave vulnerable versions installed despite update attempts.

## TL;DR

- 16 member(s): 5 open issue(s), 2 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 2 merged PR(s), 5 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #72362. Verify it addresses your case.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `partially_resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-72362`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.10`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
