SCA: security update for github.com/flyteorg/flyteadmin (GHSA-67x4-qr35-qvrm)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411291

Description

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

 - FlyteAdmin is the control plane for the data processing platform Flyte. Users who enable the default
 Flyte’s authorization server without changing the default clientid hashes will be exposed to the public
 internet. In an effort to make enabling authentication easier for Flyte administrators, the default
 configuration for Flyte Admin allows access for Flyte Propeller even after turning on authentication via a
 hardcoded hashed password. This password is also set on the default Flyte Propeller configmap in the
 various Flyte Helm charts. Users who enable auth but do not override this setting in Flyte Admin’s
 configuration may unbeknownst to them be allowing public traffic in by way of this default password with
 attackers effectively impersonating propeller. This only applies to users who have not specified the
 ExternalAuthorizationServer setting. Usage of an external auth server automatically turns off this default
 configuration and are not susceptible to this vulnerability. This issue has been addressed in version
 1.1.44. Users should manually set the staticClients in the selfAuthServer section of their configuration
 if they intend to rely on Admin’s internal auth server. Again, users who use an external auth server are
 automatically protected from this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-39273)
