SCA: security update for helm.sh/helm, helm.sh/helm/v3 (GHSA-9vp5-m38w-j776)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 431950

Description

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

- In Helm before versions 2.16.11 and 3.3.2 there is a bug in which the `alias` field on a `Chart.yaml` is
not properly sanitized. This could lead to the injection of unwanted information into a chart. This issue
has been patched in Helm 3.3.2 and 2.16.11. A possible workaround is to manually review the `dependencies`
field of any untrusted chart, verifying that the `alias` field is either not used, or (if used) does not
contain newlines or path characters. (CVE-2020-15184)
