critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409926

Description

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

 - A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in go-git versions prior to v5.11. This vulnerability allows
 an attacker to create and amend files across the filesystem. In the worse case scenario, remote code
 execution could be achieved. Applications are only affected if they are using the ChrootOS
 https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-git/go-billy/v5/osfs#ChrootOS , which is the default when using "Plain"
 versions of Open and Clone funcs (e.g. PlainClone). Applications using BoundOS
 https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-git/go-billy/v5/osfs#BoundOS or in-memory filesystems are not affected by
 this issue. This is a go-git implementation issue and does not affect the upstream git cli.
 (CVE-2023-49569)
