SCA: security update for github.com/openshift/openshift-controller-manager (GHSA-j8gh-87rx-c7w9)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416245

Description

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

- A flaw was found in OpenShift. This issue occurs due to the misuse of elevated privileges in the OpenShift
Container Platform's build process. During the build initialization step, the git-clone container is run
with a privileged security context, allowing unrestricted access to the node. An attacker with developer-
level access can provide a crafted .gitconfig file containing commands executed during the cloning
process, leading to arbitrary command execution on the worker node. An attacker running code in a
privileged container could escalate their permissions on the node running the container. (CVE-2024-45496)
