low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417247
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- dbt enables data analysts and engineers to transform their data using the same practices that software
engineers use to build applications. When a user installs a package in dbt, it has the ability to override
macros, materializations, and other core components of dbt. This is by design, as it allows packages to
extend and customize dbt's functionality. However, this also means that a malicious package could
potentially override these components with harmful code. This issue has been fixed in versions 1.8.0,
1.6.14 and 1.7.14. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no kn own workarounds for this vulnerability.
Users updating to either 1.6.14 or 1.7.14 will need to set
`flags.require_explicit_package_overrides_for_builtin_materializations: False` in their configuration in
`dbt_project.yml`. (CVE-2024-40637)
