high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473454

Description

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

 - External Secrets Operator reads information from a third-party service and automatically injects the
 values as Kubernetes Secrets. Starting in version 0.10.0 and prior to version 1.3.2, a bug in the
 `webhook` generator initialization order incorrectly cleared the label-enforcement flag (`EnforceLabels`)
 after it was set, resulting in the provider-side check for `external-secrets.io/type=webhook` being
 skipped (and the operation to succeed while it should have failed with `secret does not contain needed
 label 'external-secrets.io/type: webhook'. Update secret label to use it with webhook`. Version 1.3.2
 contains a patch. (CVE-2026-26287)

Solution

Update the github.com/external-secrets/external-secrets library and its related packages to version 1.3.2 or later.
