high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436713

Description

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

 - Envoy Gateway is an open source project for managing Envoy Proxy as a standalone or Kubernetes-based
 application gateway. Prior to 1.5.7 and 1.6.2, EnvoyExtensionPolicy Lua scripts executed by Envoy proxy
 can be used to leak the proxy's credentials. These credentials can then be used to communicate with the
 control plane and gain access to all secrets that are used by Envoy proxy, e.g. TLS private keys and
 credentials used for downstream and upstream communication. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.7 and
 1.6.2. (CVE-2026-22771)
