SCA: security update for github.com/karmada-io/karmada (GHSA-mg7w-c9x2-xh7r)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416948

Description

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

 - Karmada is a Kubernetes management system that allows users to run cloud-native applications across
 multiple Kubernetes clusters and clouds. Prior to version 1.12.0, the PULL mode clusters registered with
 the `karmadactl register` command have excessive privileges to access control plane resources. By abusing
 these permissions, an attacker able to authenticate as the karmada-agent to a karmada cluster would be
 able to obtain administrative privileges over the entire federation system including all registered member
 clusters. Since Karmada v1.12.0, command `karmadactl register` restricts the access permissions of pull
 mode member clusters to control plane resources. This way, an attacker able to authenticate as the
 karmada-agent cannot control other member clusters in Karmada. As a workaround, one may restrict the
 access permissions of pull mode member clusters to control plane resources according to Karmada Component
 Permissions Docs. (CVE-2024-56513)
