SCA: security update for github.com/stacklok/minder (GHSA-fjw8-3gp8-4cvx)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414572

Description

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

- Minder is a software supply chain security platform. Prior to version 0.0.49, the Minder REST ingester is
vulnerable to a denial of service attack via an attacker-controlled REST endpoint that can crash the
Minder server. The REST ingester allows users to interact with REST endpoints to fetch data for rule
evaluation. When fetching data with the REST ingester, Minder sends a request to an endpoint and will use
the data from the body of the response as the data to evaluate against a certain rule. If the response is
sufficiently large, it can drain memory on the machine and crash the Minder server. The attacker can
control the remote REST endpoints that Minder sends requests to, and they can configure the remote REST
endpoints to return responses with large bodies. They would then instruct Minder to send a request to
their configured endpoint that would return the large response which would crash the Minder server.
Version 0.0.49 fixes this issue. (CVE-2024-35185)
