medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441463

Description

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

 - go-ipld-prime is an implementation of the InterPlanetary Linked Data (IPLD) spec interfaces, a batteries-
 included codec implementations of IPLD for CBOR and JSON, and tooling for basic operations on IPLD
 objects. Prior to 0.23.0, the DAG-CBOR and DAG-JSON decoders recurse on each nested map or list without a
 depth limit. A payload containing deeply nested collections causes the decoder to recurse once per level,
 growing the goroutine stack until the Go runtime terminates the process with a fatal stack overflow
 (distinct from a recoverable panic). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.23.0. (CVE-2026-42328)

Solution

Update the github.com/ipld/go-ipld-prime library and its related packages to version 0.23.0 or later.
