SCA: security update for oras.land/oras-go/v2 (GHSA-fxhp-mv3v-67qp)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445682

Description

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

 - oras-go is a Go library for managing OCI artifacts. Prior to 2.6.2, ensureLinkPath in
 content/file/utils.go:262-275 validates a hardlink target relative to the extract base but returns the
 unresolved target, causing os.Link("victim.secret", "<extract_base>/payload.tar.gz/evil_cwd_link") to
 resolve header.Linkname against the process current working directory for a Typeflag=TypeLink entry such
 as Name=payload.tar.gz/evil_cwd_link and Linkname="victim.secret" with io.deis.oras.content.unpack:
 "true", which can expose or tamper with files such as .env, .git/config, .aws/credentials, and
 ~/.ssh/config. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.2. (CVE-2026-50163)

Solution

Update the oras.land/oras-go/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.6.2 or later.
