SCA: security update for org.apache.pulsar:pulsar-functions-worker (GHSA-74mc-g2xv-pch2)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411807

Description

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

 - Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation Apache Pulsar Function Worker. This
 issue affects Apache Pulsar: before 2.10.4, and 2.11.0. Any authenticated user can retrieve a source's
 configuration or a sink's configuration without authorization. Many sources and sinks contain credentials
 in the configuration, which could lead to leaked credentials. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact
 that there is not a known way for an authenticated user to enumerate another tenant's sources or sinks,
 meaning the source or sink name would need to be guessed in order to exploit this vulnerability. The
 recommended mitigation for impacted users is to upgrade the Pulsar Function Worker to a patched version.
 2.10 Pulsar Function Worker users should upgrade to at least 2.10.4. 2.11 Pulsar Function Worker users
 should upgrade to at least 2.11.1. 3.0 Pulsar Function Worker users are unaffected. Any users running the
 Pulsar Function Worker for 2.9.* and earlier should upgrade to one of the above patched versions.
 (CVE-2023-37579)
