SCA: security update for github.com/pomerium/pomerium (GHSA-r7rh-jww5-5fjr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418576

Description

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

 - Pomerium is an identity and context-aware access proxy. The Pomerium databroker service is responsible for
 managing all persistent Pomerium application state. Requests to the databroker service API are authorized
 by the presence of a JSON Web Token (JWT) signed by a key known by all Pomerium services in the same
 deployment. However, incomplete validation of this JWT meant that some service account access tokens would
 incorrectly be treated as valid for the purpose of databroker API authorization. Improper access to the
 databroker API could allow exfiltration of user info, spoofing of user sessions, or tampering with
 Pomerium routes, policies, and other settings. A Pomerium deployment is susceptible to this issue if all
 of the following conditions are met, you have issued a service account access token using Pomerium Zero or
 Pomerium Enterprise, the access token has an explicit expiration date in the future, and the core Pomerium
 databroker gRPC API is not otherwise secured by network access controls. This vulnerability is fixed in
 0.27.1. (CVE-2024-47616)
