SCA: security update for chainguard.dev/melange (GHSA-2w4f-9fgg-q2v9)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437509

Description

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

 - melange allows users to build apk packages using declarative pipelines. From version 0.14.0 to before
 0.40.3, an attacker who can influence a melange configuration file (e.g., through pull request-driven CI
 or build-as-a-service scenarios) could read arbitrary files from the host system. The LicensingInfos
 function in pkg/config/config.go reads license files specified in copyright[].license-path without
 validating that paths remain within the workspace directory, allowing path traversal via ../ sequences.
 The contents of the traversed file are embedded into the generated SBOM as license text, enabling
 exfiltration of sensitive data through build artifacts. This issue has been patched in version 0.40.3.
 (CVE-2026-25145)
