SCA: security update for org.apache.pulsar:pulsar-broker, org.apache.pulsar:pulsar-proxy (GHSA-jvf3-mfxv-jcqr)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416585

Description

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

- TLS hostname verification cannot be enabled in the Pulsar Broker's Java Client, the Pulsar Broker's Java
Admin Client, the Pulsar WebSocket Proxy's Java Client, and the Pulsar Proxy's Admin Client leaving intra-
cluster connections and geo-replication connections vulnerable to man in the middle attacks, which could
leak credentials, configuration data, message data, and any other data sent by these clients. The
vulnerability is for both the pulsar+ssl protocol and HTTPS. An attacker can only take advantage of this
vulnerability by taking control of a machine 'between' the client and the server. The attacker must then
actively manipulate traffic to perform the attack by providing the client with a cryptographically valid
certificate for an unrelated host. This issue affects Apache Pulsar Broker, Proxy, and WebSocket Proxy
versions 2.7.0 to 2.7.4; 2.8.0 to 2.8.3; 2.9.0 to 2.9.2; 2.10.0; 2.6.4 and earlier. (CVE-2022-33682)
