SCA: security update for github.com/containernetworking/plugins (GHSA-jv3w-x3r3-g6rm)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436320

Description

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

- The CNI portmap plugin allows containers to emulate opening a host port, forwarding that traffic to the
container. Versions 1.6.0 through 1.8.0 inadvertently forward all traffic with the same destination port
as the host port when the portmap plugin is configured with the nftables backend, thus ignoring the
destination IP. This includes traffic not intended for the node itself, i.e. traffic to containers hosted
on the node. Containers that request HostPort forwarding can intercept all traffic destined for that port.
This requires that the portmap plugin be explicitly configured to use the nftables backend. This issue is
fixed in version 1.9.0. To workaround, configure the portmap plugin to use the iptables backend. It does
not have this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-67499)

Solution

Update the github.com/containernetworking/plugins library and its related packages to version 1.9.0 or later.
