SCA: security update for vitess.io/vitess (GHSA-v75v-6fpf-gvw8)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474687

Description

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

- Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL. Prior to 23.0.5 and 24.0.2,
twopczHandler in go/vt/vttablet/tabletserver/twopcz.go writes the Action and dtid form values from the
vttablet and vtcombo /twopcz HTTP debug endpoint into a text/html response without HTML escaping. Under
the default allow-all ACL policy, a remote unauthenticated attacker can send an operator a crafted request
that executes script in the operator's browser after the request is opened. The script runs with the
vttablet debug origin and can read same-origin diagnostic endpoints that expose query, transaction,
environment, variable, or profiling data available in that deployment. This issue is fixed in versions
23.0.5 and 24.0.2. (CVE-2026-104252)

Solution

Update the vitess.io/vitess library and its related packages to version 0.23.5 or later.
