SCA: security update for github.com/crossplane/crossplane (GHSA-pj4x-2xr5-w87m)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417556

Description

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

 - Crossplane is a framework for building cloud native control planes without needing to write code. In
 versions prior to 1.11.5, 1.12.3, and 1.13.0, Crossplane's image backend does not validate the byte
 contents of Crossplane packages. As such, Crossplane does not detect if an attacker has tampered with a
 Package. The problem has been fixed in 1.11.5, 1.12.3 and 1.13.0. As a workaround, only use images from
 trusted sources and keep Package editing/creating privileges to administrators only. (CVE-2023-38495)
