Security scan complaining about ChimeraX Python component
Hello: Sorry, we’ve got an annoying security scan. Here’s its complaint: Path : /Applications/ChimeraX-1.12-rc2026.05.23.app/Contents/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages/aiohttp-3.13.1.dist-info Installed version : 3.13.1 Fixed version : 3.13.4 Potential Vulnerability : Component Is there some way for me to update the Python that ChimeraX uses? Thanks very much, —Dan
Hi Dan, I have updated that dependency for current release candidates. You should be able to download a new version of ChimeraX and the security alert should go away. — Zach

Hello Zach: Thanks much. I’ll just have to wait for the next scan — not in my control, and not sure when that will happen. No news will be good news! —Dan From: Zach Pearson <zjp@cgl.ucsf.edu> Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 2:30 PM To: Kirshner, Dan <kirshner1@llnl.gov> Cc: chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu <chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> Subject: Re: [chimerax-users] Security scan complaining about ChimeraX Python component Hi Dan, I have updated that dependency for current release candidates.
