SCA: security update for github.com/kyverno/kyverno (GHSA-3hfq-cx9j-923w)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409544
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Kyverno is a policy engine designed for Kubernetes. An issue was found in Kyverno that allowed an attacker
to control the digest of images used by Kyverno users. The issue would require the attacker to compromise
the registry that the Kyverno users fetch their images from. The attacker could then return an vulnerable
image to the the user and leverage that to further escalate their position. As such, the attacker would
need to know which images the Kyverno user consumes and know of one of multiple exploitable
vulnerabilities in previous digests of the images. Alternatively, if the attacker has compromised the
registry, they could craft a malicious image with a different digest with intentionally placed
vulnerabilities and deliver the image to the user. Users pulling their images by digests and from trusted
registries are not impacted by this vulnerability. There is no evidence of this being exploited in the
wild. The issue has been patched in 1.10.5. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-47630)
