SCA: security update for github.com/aquasecurity/trivy (GHSA-8rc5-4fr6-64pw)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446064

Description

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

 - Trivy is a security scanner. Prior to 0.72.0, plugin manifest metadata is used by pkg/plugin/manager.go to
 construct paths under ~/.trivy/plugins without confining plugin names to that root, allowing an attacker
 who persuades a user to install or run a malicious plugin to write the manifest and plugin binary to
 arbitrary user-writable paths, while plugins from the official Trivy plugin index are not affected. This
 issue is fixed in version 0.72.0. (CVE-2026-63328)

Solution

Update the github.com/aquasecurity/trivy library and its related packages to version 0.72.0 or later.
