SCA: security update for github.com/envoyproxy/gateway (GHSA-j777-63hf-hx76)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420758

Description

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

- Envoy Gateway is an open source project for managing Envoy Proxy as a standalone or Kubernetes-based
application gateway. A user with access to the Kubernetes cluster can use a path traversal attack to
execute Envoy Admin interface commands on proxies managed by any version of Envoy Gateway prior to 1.2.6.
The admin interface can be used to terminate the Envoy process and extract the Envoy configuration
(possibly containing confidential data). Version 1.2.6 fixes the issue. As a workaround, the `EnvoyProxy`
API can be used to apply a bootstrap config patch that restricts access strictly to the prometheus stats
endpoint. Find below an example of such a bootstrap patch. (CVE-2025-24030)
