How to fix?

Upgrade tensorflow to version 2.5.3, 2.6.3, 2.7.1 or higher.

Overview

tensorflow is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition via the tempfile.mktemp function which is used to create temporary files. This is risky, as a different process can create the file after the check for the filename in mktemp, and the actual creation of the file by the next operation (Time of Check/Time of Use).
