SCA: security update for github.com/clastix/capsule (GHSA-x45c-cvp8-q4fm)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420274

Description

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

 - Capsule is a multi-tenancy and policy-based framework for Kubernetes. Prior to version 0.1.3, a
 ServiceAccount deployed in a Tenant Namespace, when granted with `PATCH` capabilities on its own
 Namespace, is able to edit it and remove the Owner Reference, breaking the reconciliation of the Capsule
 Operator and removing all the enforcement like Pod Security annotations, Network Policies, Limit Range and
 Resource Quota items. An attacker could detach the Namespace from a Tenant that is forbidding starting
 privileged Pods using the Pod Security labels by removing the OwnerReference, removing the enforcement
 labels, and being able to start privileged containers that would be able to start a generic Kubernetes
 privilege escalation. Patches have been released for version 0.1.3. No known workarounds are available.
 (CVE-2022-46167)
