SCA: security update for github.com/cilium/cilium-cli (GHSA-6f27-3p6c-p5jc)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411385

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - `cilium-cli` is the command line interface to install, manage, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters
 running Cilium. Prior to version 0.13.2,`cilium-cli`, when used to configure cluster mesh functionality,
 can remove the enforcement of user permissions on the `etcd` store used to mirror local cluster
 information to remote clusters. Users who have set up cluster meshes using the Cilium Helm chart are not
 affected by this issue. Due to an incorrect mount point specification, the settings specified by the
 `initContainer` that configures `etcd` users and their permissions are overwritten when using `cilium-cli`
 to configure a cluster mesh. An attacker who has already gained access to a valid key and certificate for
 an `etcd` cluster compromised in this manner could then modify state in that `etcd` cluster. This issue is
 patched in `cilium-cli` 0.13.2. As a workaround, one may use Cilium's Helm charts to create their cluster.
 (CVE-2023-28114)
