SCA: security update for request-filtering-agent (GHSA-pw25-c82r-75mm)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435095

Description

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

- request-filtering-agent is an http(s).Agent implementation that blocks requests to Private/Reserved IP
addresses. Versions 1.x.x and earlier contain a vulnerability where HTTPS requests to 127.0.0.1 bypass IP
address filtering, while HTTP requests are correctly blocked. This allows attackers to potentially access
internal HTTPS services running on localhost, bypassing the library's SSRF protection. The vulnerability
is particularly dangerous when the application accepts user-controlled URLs and internal services are only
protected by network-level restrictions. This vulnerability has been fixed in request-filtering-agent
version 2.0.0. Users should upgrade to version 2.0.0 or later. (CVE-2025-57814)
