SCA: security update for github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (GHSA-7vww-mvcr-x6vj)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436290

Description

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

- Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Versions 3.5.0 through 3.6.2 have inverted TLS
verification logic in the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-verify annotation. Setting the annotation
to "on" (intending to enable backend TLS certificate verification) actually disables verification,
allowing man-in-the-middle attacks against HTTPS backends when operators believe they are protected. This
issue is fixed in version 3.6.3. (CVE-2025-66491)
