SCA: security update for org.apache.pinot:pinot-controller (GHSA-8gj9-r4hv-3jjw)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412662

Description

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

 - Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache Pinot. This issue
 affects Apache Pinot: from 0.1 before 1.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.0.0 and
 configure RBAC, which fixes the issue. Details: When using a request to path “/appconfigs” to the
 controller, it can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information such as system information (e.g. arch,
 os version), environment information (e.g. maxHeapSize) and Pinot configurations (e.g. zookeeper path).
 This issue was addressed by the Role-based Access Control
 https://docs.pinot.apache.org/operators/tutorials/authentication/basic-auth-access-control , so that
 /appConfigs` and all other APIs can be access controlled. Only authorized users have access to it. Note
 the user needs to add the admin role accordingly to the RBAC guide to control access to this endpoint, and
 in the future version of Pinot, a default admin role is planned to be added. (CVE-2024-39676)
