How to fix?

Upgrade transformers to version 4.30.0 or higher.

Overview

transformers is a State-of-the-art Machine Learning for JAX, PyTorch and TensorFlow

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Temporary File due to using the deprecated tempfile.mktemp() function which is not secure because a different process may create a file with this name in the time between the call to mktemp() and the subsequent attempt to create the file by the first process.
