high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437512

Description

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

 - melange allows users to build apk packages using declarative pipelines. In version 0.11.3 to before
 0.40.3, an attacker who can influence the tar stream from a QEMU guest VM could write files outside the
 intended workspace directory on the host. The retrieveWorkspace function extracts tar entries without
 validating that paths stay within the workspace, allowing path traversal via ../ sequences. This issue has
 been patched in version 0.40.3. (CVE-2026-24843)
