high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428349

Description

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

- Chall-Manager is a platform-agnostic system able to start Challenges on Demand of a player. The HTTP
Gateway processes headers, but with no timeout set. With a slow loris attack, an attacker could cause
Denial of Service (DoS). Exploitation does not require authentication nor authorization, so anyone can
exploit it. It should nonetheless not be exploitable as it is highly recommended to bury Chall-Manager
deep within the infrastructure due to its large capabilities, so no users could reach the system. Patch
has been implemented by commit 1385bd8 and shipped in v0.1.4. (CVE-2025-53634)
