SCA: security update for go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 (GHSA-xg4h-6gfc-h4m8)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445913

Description

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

- etcd is a distributed key-value store for the data of a distributed system. Prior to versions 3.5.33,
3.6.14, and 3.7.1, a user granted READ permission on a single exact key can use the Watch gRPC API with
clientv3.WithFromKey() to receive watch events for every key lexicographically greater than or equal to
the permitted key. In server/etcdserver/api/v3rpc/watch.go, the open-ended RangeEnd sentinel is rewritten
before the RBAC permission check in server/auth/range_perm_cache.go function isRangeOpPermitted, causing
the request to be treated as an exact-key watch. Range/Get and DeleteRange requests are not affected, and
the issue affects only clusters with authentication enabled. This issue is fixed in versions 3.5.33,
3.6.14, and 3.7.1. (CVE-2026-73499)

Solution

Update the go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 library and its related packages to version 3.5.33 or later.
