medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436074

Description

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

 - KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. In 1.5.0 and earlier, the permissions
 granted to the virt-handler service account, such as the ability to update VMI and patch nodes, could be
 abused to force a VMI migration to an attacker-controlled node. This vulnerability could otherwise allow
 an attacker to mark all nodes as unschedulable, potentially forcing the migration or creation of
 privileged pods onto a compromised node. (CVE-2025-64436)
