SCA: security update for github.com/theupdateframework/go-tuf/v2 (GHSA-jqc5-w2xx-5vq4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437371

Description

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

 - go-tuf is a Go implementation of The Update Framework (TUF). go-tuf's TAP 4 Multirepo Client uses the map
 file repository name string (`repoName`) as a filesystem path component when selecting the local metadata
 cache directory. Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to version 2.4.1, if an application accepts a map
 file from an untrusted source, an attacker can supply a `repoName` containing traversal (e.g.,
 `../escaped-repo`) and cause go-tuf to create directories and write the root metadata file outside the
 intended `LocalMetadataDir` cache base, within the running process's filesystem permissions. Version 2.4.1
 contains a patch. (CVE-2026-24686)
