SCA: security update for helm.sh/helm, helm.sh/helm/v3 (GHSA-m54r-vrmv-hw33)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 431893

Description

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

- In Helm before versions 2.16.11 and 3.3.2 plugin names are not sanitized properly. As a result, a
malicious plugin author could use characters in a plugin name that would result in unexpected behavior,
such as duplicating the name of another plugin or spoofing the output to `helm --help`. This issue has
been patched in Helm 3.3.2. A possible workaround is to not install untrusted Helm plugins. Examine the
`name` field in the `plugin.yaml` file for a plugin, looking for characters outside of the [a-zA-Z0-9._-]
range. (CVE-2020-15186)
