SCA: security update for vitess.io/vitess (GHSA-r492-hjgh-c9gw)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438132

Description

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

- Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL. Prior to versions 23.0.3 and
22.0.4, anyone with read/write access to the backup storage location (e.g. an S3 bucket) can manipulate
backup manifest files so that files in the manifest — which may be files that they have also added to the
manifest and backup contents — are written to any accessible location on restore. This is a common path
traversal security issue. This can be used to provide that attacker with unintended/unauthorized access to
the production deployment environment — allowing them to access information available in that environment
as well as run any additional arbitrary commands there. Versions 23.0.3 and 22.0.4 contain a patch. No
known workarounds are available. (CVE-2026-27969)
