QID 995941: Python (Pip) Security Update for vantage6-server (GHSA-vc3v-ppc7-v486)

A node does not check if an image is allowed to run if a parent_id is set. A malicious party that breaches the server may modify it to set a fake parent_id and send a task of a non-whitelisted algorithm. The node will then execute it because the parent_id that is set prevents checks from being run. Relevant node code here
