SCA: security update for github.com/linode/terraform-provider-linode/v3 (GHSA-5rc7-2jj6-mp64)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438062

Description

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

 - The Terraform Provider for Linode versions prior to v3.9.0 logged sensitive information including some
 passwords, StackScript content, and object storage data in debug logs without redaction. Provider debug
 logging is not enabled by default. This issue is exposed when debug/provider logs are explicitly enabled
 (for example in local troubleshooting, CI/CD jobs, or centralized log collection). If enabled, sensitive
 values may be written to logs and then retained, shared, or exported beyond the original execution
 environment. An authenticated user with access to provider debug logs (through log aggregation systems,
 CI/CD pipelines, or debug output) would thus be able to extract these sensitive credentials. Versions
 3.9.0 and later sanitize debug logs by logging only non-sensitive metadata such as labels, regions, and
 resource IDs while redacting credentials, tokens, keys, scripts, and other sensitive content. Some other
 mitigations and workarounds are available. Disable Terraform/provider debug logging or set it to `WARN`
 level or above, restrict access to existing and historical logs, purge/retention-trim logs that may
 contain sensitive values, and/or rotate potentially exposed secrets/credentials. (CVE-2026-27900)
