medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 434034

Description

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

 - Pomerium is an identity-aware access proxy. In distributed service mode, Pomerium's Authenticate service
 exposes pprof debug and prometheus metrics handlers to untrusted traffic. This can leak potentially
 sensitive environmental information or lead to limited denial of service conditions. This issue is patched
 in version v0.17.1 Workarounds: Block access to `/debug` and `/metrics` paths on the authenticate service.
 This can be done with any L7 proxy, including Pomerium's own proxy service. (CVE-2022-24797)
