SCA: security update for github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator (GHSA-9wh7-397j-722m)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413513

Description

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

 - Baremetal Operator (BMO) is a bare metal host provisioning integration for Kubernetes. Prior to version
 0.3.0, ironic and ironic-inspector deployed within Baremetal Operator using the included `deploy.sh` store
 their `.htpasswd` files as ConfigMaps instead of Secrets. This causes the plain-text username and hashed
 password to be readable by anyone having a cluster-wide read-access to the management cluster, or access
 to the management cluster's Etcd storage. This issue is patched in baremetal-operator PR#1241, and is
 included in BMO release 0.3.0 onwards. As a workaround, users may modify the kustomizations and redeploy
 the BMO, or recreate the required ConfigMaps as Secrets per instructions in baremetal-operator PR#1241.
 (CVE-2023-30841)
