SCA: security update for github.com/cubefs/cubefs (GHSA-4248-p65p-hcrm)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409803

Description

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

 - CubeFS is an open-source cloud-native file storage system. Prior to version 3.3.1, CubeFS used an insecure
 random string generator to generate user-specific, sensitive keys used to authenticate users in a CubeFS
 deployment. This could allow an attacker to predict and/or guess the generated string and impersonate a
 user thereby obtaining higher privileges. When CubeFS creates new users, it creates a piece of sensitive
 information for the user called the “accessKey”. To create the "accesKey", CubeFS uses an insecure string
 generator which makes it easy to guess and thereby impersonate the created user. An attacker could
 leverage the predictable random string generator and guess a users access key and impersonate the user to
 obtain higher privileges. The issue has been fixed in v3.3.1. There is no other mitigation than to
 upgrade. (CVE-2023-46740)
