SCA: security update for github.com/artifacthub/hub (GHSA-hmq4-c2r4-5q8h)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415844
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Artifact Hub is a web-based application that enables finding, installing, and publishing packages and
configurations for CNCF projects. During a security audit of Artifact Hub's code base a security
researcher identified a bug in which by using symbolic links in certain kinds of repositories loaded into
Artifact Hub, it was possible to read internal files. Artifact Hub indexes content from a variety of
sources, including git repositories. When processing git based repositories, Artifact Hub clones the
repository and, depending on the artifact kind, reads some files from it. During this process, in some
cases, no validation was done to check if the file was a symbolic link. This made possible to read
arbitrary files in the system, potentially leaking sensitive information. This issue has been resolved in
version `1.16.0`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
