SCA: security update for github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets (GHSA-465p-v42x-3fmj)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438028

Description

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

- Bitnami Sealed Secrets is vulnerable to a scope-widening attack during the secret rotation (/v1/rotate)
flow. The rotation handler derives the sealing scope for the newly encrypted output from untrusted
spec.template.metadata.annotations present in the input SealedSecret. By submitting a victim SealedSecret
to the rotate endpoint with the annotation sealedsecrets.bitnami.com/cluster-wide=true injected into the
template metadata, a remote attacker can obtain a rotated version of the secret that is cluster-wide. This
bypasses original "strict" or "namespace-wide" constraints, allowing the attacker to retarget and unseal
the secret in any namespace or under any name to recover the plaintext credentials. (CVE-2026-22728)
