SCA: security update for helm.sh/helm/v3 (GHSA-56hp-xqp3-w2jf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410628

Description

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

- Helm is a tool for managing Charts (packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources). In versions of helm
prior to 3.6.1, a vulnerability exists where the username and password credentials associated with a Helm
repository could be passed on to another domain referenced by that Helm repository. This issue has been
resolved in 3.6.1. There is a workaround through which one may check for improperly passed credentials.
One may use a username and password for a Helm repository and may audit the Helm repository in order to
check for another domain being used that could have received the credentials. In the `index.yaml` file for
that repository, one may look for another domain in the `urls` list for the chart versions. If there is
another domain found and that chart version was pulled or installed, the credentials would be passed on.
(CVE-2021-32690)
