Upgrade paramiko to version 5.0.0 or higher.
Overview
paramiko is a library for making SSH2 connections (client or server).
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm in the RSA key handling by allowing the use of the SHA-1 algorithm. An attacker can compromise the integrity of cryptographic operations by exploiting weak cryptographic hashing.
