SCA: security update for zotregistry.dev/zot (GHSA-c9p4-xwr9-rfhx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413805

Description

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

 - zot is a production-ready vendor-neutral OCI image registry. The group data stored for users in the boltdb
 database (meta.db) is an append-list so group revocations/removals are ignored in the API. SetUserGroups
 is alled on login, but instead of replacing the group memberships, they are appended. This may be due to
 some conflict with the group definitions in the config file, but that wasn't obvious to me if it were the
 case. Any Zot configuration that relies on group-based authorization will not respect group
 remove/revocation by an IdP. This issue has been addressed in version 2.1.2. All users are advised to
 upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-23208)
