SCA: security update for github.com/prometheus/prometheus (GHSA-wg65-39gg-5wfj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441250

Description

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

 - Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system and time series database. Prior to versions 3.5.3 and
 3.11.3, the client_secret field in the Azure AD remote write OAuth configuration (storage/remote/azuread)
 was typed as string instead of Secret. Prometheus redacts fields of type Secret when serving the
 configuration via the /-/config HTTP API endpoint. Because the field was a plain string, the Azure OAuth
 client secret was exposed in plaintext to any user or process with access to that endpoint. This issue has
 been patched in versions 3.5.3 and 3.11.3. (CVE-2026-42151)

Solution

Update the github.com/prometheus/prometheus library and its related packages to version 0.311.3 or later.
