high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435705

Description

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

 - This vulnerability affects NeuVector deployments only when the Report anonymous cluster data option is
 enabled. When this option is enabled, NeuVector sends anonymous telemetry data to the telemetry server. In
 affected versions, NeuVector does not enforce TLS certificate verification when transmitting anonymous
 cluster data to the telemetry server. As a result, the communication channel is susceptible to man-in-the-
 middle (MITM) attacks, where an attacker could intercept or modify the transmitted data. Additionally,
 NeuVector loads the response of the telemetry server is loaded into memory without size limitation, which
 makes it vulnerable to a Denial of Service(DoS) attack (CVE-2025-54470)
