medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419531

Description

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

- in-toto-golang is a go implementation of the in-toto framework to protect software supply chain integrity.
In affected versions authenticated attackers posing as functionaries (i.e., within a trusted set of users
for a layout) are able to create attestations that may bypass DISALLOW rules in the same layout. An
attacker with access to trusted private keys, may issue an attestation that contains a disallowed artifact
by including path traversal semantics (e.g., foo vs dir/../foo). Exploiting this vulnerability is
dependent on the specific policy applied. The problem has been fixed in version 0.3.0. (CVE-2021-41087)
