SCA: security update for github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/v2, sftpgo (GHSA-49cc-xrjf-9qf7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410072

Description

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

 - SFTPGo is a full-featured and highly configurable SFTP, HTTP/S, FTP/S and WebDAV server - S3, Google Cloud
 Storage, Azure Blob. One powerful feature of SFTPGo is the ability to have the EventManager execute
 scripts or run applications in response to certain events. This feature is very common in all software
 similar to SFTPGo and is generally unrestricted. However, any SFTPGo administrator with permission to run
 a script has access to the underlying OS/container with the same permissions as the user running SFTPGo.
 This is unexpected for some SFTPGo administrators who think that there is a clear distinction between
 accessing the system shell and accessing the SFTPGo WebAdmin UI. To avoid this confusion, running system
 commands is disabled by default in 2.6.3, and an allow list has been added so that system administrators
 configuring SFTPGo must explicitly define which commands are allowed to be configured from the WebAdmin
 UI. (CVE-2024-52309)
