SCA: security update for github.com/go-vela/server, github.com/go-vela/worker (GHSA-5m7g-pj8w-7593)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410914

Description

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

- Vela is a Pipeline Automation (CI/CD) framework built on Linux container technology written in Golang. In
Vela Server and Vela Worker prior to version 0.16.0 and Vela UI prior to version 0.17.0, some default
configurations for Vela allow exploitation and container breakouts. Users should upgrade to Server 0.16.0,
Worker 0.16.0, and UI 0.17.0 to fix the issue. After upgrading, Vela administrators will need to
explicitly change the default settings to configure Vela as desired. Some of the fixes will interrupt
existing workflows and will require Vela administrators to modify default settings. However, not applying
the patch (or workarounds) will continue existing risk exposure. Some workarounds are available. Vela
administrators can adjust the worker's `VELA_RUNTIME_PRIVILEGED_IMAGES` setting to be explicitly empty,
leverage the `VELA_REPO_ALLOWLIST` setting on the server component to restrict access to a list of
repositories that are allowed to be enabled, and/or audit enabled repositories and disable pull_requests
if they are not needed. (CVE-2022-39395)
