SCA: security update for github.com/cortexproject/cortex (GHSA-cq2g-pw6q-hf7j)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414014

Description

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

 - Cortex provides multi-tenant, long term storage for Prometheus. A local file inclusion vulnerability
 exists in Cortex versions 1.13.0, 1.13.1 and 1.14.0, where a malicious actor could remotely read local
 files as a result of parsing maliciously crafted Alertmanager configurations when submitted to the
 Alertmanager Set Configuration API. Only users of the Alertmanager service where
 `-experimental.alertmanager.enable-api` or `enable_api: true` is configured are affected. Affected Cortex
 users are advised to upgrade to patched versions 1.13.2 or 1.14.1. However as a workaround, Cortex
 administrators may reject Alertmanager configurations containing the `api_key_file` setting in the
 `opsgenie_configs` section before sending to the Set Alertmanager Configuration API. (CVE-2022-23536)
