SCA: security update for github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes (GHSA-jh36-q97c-9928)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416373

Description

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

 - Users may have access to secure endpoints in the control plane network. Kubernetes clusters are only
 affected if an untrusted user can modify Node objects and send proxy requests to them. Kubernetes supports
 node proxying, which allows clients of kube-apiserver to access endpoints of a Kubelet to establish
 connections to Pods, retrieve container logs, and more. While Kubernetes already validates the proxying
 address for Nodes, a bug in kube-apiserver made it possible to bypass this validation. Bypassing this
 validation could allow authenticated requests destined for Nodes to to the API server's private network.
 (CVE-2022-3294)
