SCA: security update for github.com/portainer/portainer (GHSA-7fw3-x4r2-g7wc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441868

Description

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

 - Portainer Community Edition is a lightweight service delivery platform for containerized applications that
 can be used to manage Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes and ACI environments. From 2.33.0 to before 2.33.8,
 2.39.2, and 2.41.0, Portainer offers an environment-level Disable bind mounts for non-administrators
 security setting that blocks regular users from binding host paths into containers they create through the
 Portainer-mediated Docker API. The check that enforces this setting only inspected the legacy
 HostConfig.Binds array on the container-create proxy and never looked at the equivalent HostConfig.Mounts
 array. Any authenticated user with rights to create containers on a Docker environment where the
 restriction is enabled could submit a bind-typed entry under HostConfig.Mounts and mount any host path
 into their container. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.33.8, 2.39.2, and 2.41.0. (CVE-2026-44850)

Solution

Update the github.com/portainer/portainer library and its related packages to version 2.33.8 or later.
