SCA: security update for helm.sh/helm/v3 (GHSA-r53h-jv2g-vpx6)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418491

Description

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

 - Helm is a package manager for Charts for Kubernetes. Versions prior to 3.14.2 contain an uninitialized
 variable vulnerability when Helm parses index and plugin yaml files missing expected content. When either
 an `index.yaml` file or a plugins `plugin.yaml` file were missing all metadata a panic would occur in
 Helm. In the Helm SDK, this is found when using the `LoadIndexFile` or `DownloadIndexFile` functions in
 the `repo` package or the `LoadDir` function in the `plugin` package. For the Helm client this impacts
 functions around adding a repository and all Helm functions if a malicious plugin is added as Helm
 inspects all known plugins on each invocation. This issue has been resolved in Helm v3.14.2. If a
 malicious plugin has been added which is causing all Helm client commands to panic, the malicious plugin
 can be manually removed from the filesystem. If using Helm SDK versions prior to 3.14.2, calls to affected
 functions can use `recover` to catch the panic. (CVE-2024-26147)

Solution

Update the helm.sh/helm/v3 library and its related packages to version 3.14.2 or later.
