SCA: security update for helm.sh/helm, helm.sh/helm/v3 (GHSA-jm56-5h66-w453)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416449

Description

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

 - In Helm before versions 2.16.11 and 3.3.2, a Helm repository can contain duplicates of the same chart,
 with the last one always used. If a repository is compromised, this lowers the level of access that an
 attacker needs to inject a bad chart into a repository. To perform this attack, an attacker must have
 write access to the index file (which can occur during a MITM attack on a non-SSL connection). This issue
 has been patched in Helm 3.3.2 and 2.16.11. A possible workaround is to manually review the index file in
 the Helm repository cache before installing software. (CVE-2020-15185)
