SCA: security update for uptime-kuma (GHSA-7grx-f945-mj96)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 434594
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Uptime Kuma, a self-hosted monitoring tool, allows an authenticated attacker to install a maliciously
crafted plugin in versions prior to 1.22.1, which may lead to remote code execution. Uptime Kuma allows
authenticated users to install plugins from an official list of plugins. This feature is currently
disabled in the web interface, but the corresponding API endpoints are still available after login. After
downloading a plugin, it's installed by calling `npm install` in the installation directory of the plugin.
Because the plugin is not validated against the official list of plugins or installed with `npm install
--ignore-scripts`, a maliciously crafted plugin taking advantage of npm scripts can gain remote code
execution. Version 1.22.1 contains a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-36821)
