SCA: security update for lemur (GHSA-6c8m-q6g9-vrw3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446079

Description

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

- Lemur manages TLS certificate creation. Prior to 1.9.3, GET /api/1/destinations and GET
/api/1/destinations/ relied only on authentication while sibling write handlers required admin_permission.
DestinationOutputSchema returned raw options and copied them into pluginOptions without redacting
sensitive values. The sftp-destination plugin stored password and privateKeyPass values in plaintext,
allowing even a read-only user to retrieve credentials for remote certificate-deployment hosts. The
exposed credentials could permit direct access to SFTP systems and TLS material outside the Lemur security
boundary. The fix requires administrator permission for destination reads and redacts options marked
sensitive. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.3. (CVE-2026-71307)

Solution

Update the lemur library and its related packages to version 1.9.3 or later.
