SCA: security update for github.com/temporalio/temporal (GHSA-wmxc-v39r-p9wf)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420017

Description

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

 - Denial of Service in Temporal Server prior to version 1.20.5, 1.21.6, and 1.22.7 allows an authenticated
 user who has permissions to interact with workflows and has crafted an invalid UTF-8 string for submission
 to potentially cause a crashloop. If left unchecked, the task containing the invalid UTF-8 will become
 stuck in the queue, causing an increase in queue lag. Eventually, all processes handling these queues will
 become stuck and the system will run out of resources. The workflow ID of the failing task will be visible
 in the logs, and can be used to remove that workflow as a mitigation. Version 1.23 is not impacted. In
 this context, a user is an operator of Temporal Server. (CVE-2024-2689)
