SCA: security update for github.com/bishopfox/sliver (GHSA-hc5w-gxxr-w8x8)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421358

Description

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

 - Sliver is an open source cross-platform adversary emulation/red team framework, it can be used by
 organizations of all sizes to perform security testing. Sliver version 1.6.0 (prerelease) is vulnerable to
 RCE on the teamserver by a low-privileged "operator" user. The RCE is as the system root user. The exploit
 is pretty fun as we make the Sliver server pwn itself. As described in a past issue (#65), "there is a
 clear security boundary between the operator and server, an operator should not inherently be able to run
 commands or code on the server." An operator who exploited this vulnerability would be able to view all
 console logs, kick all other operators, view and modify files stored on the server, and ultimately delete
 the server. This issue has not yet be addressed but is expected to be resolved before the full release of
 version 1.6.0. Users of the 1.6.0 prerelease should avoid using Silver in production. (CVE-2024-41111)
