SCA: security update for github.com/akuity/kargo (GHSA-j94x-8wcp-x7hm)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438868

Description

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

 - Kargo manages and automates the promotion of software artifacts. In versions 1.4.0 through 1.6.3,
 1.7.0-rc.1 through 1.7.8, 1.8.0-rc.1 through 1.8.11, and 1.9.0-rc.1 through 1.9.4, the http and http-
 download promotion steps allow Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) against link-local addresses, most
 critically the cloud instance metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254), enabling exfiltration of sensitive data
 such as IAM credentials. These steps provide full control over request headers and methods, rendering
 cloud provider header-based SSRF mitigations ineffective. An authenticated attacker with permissions to
 create/update Stages or craft Promotion resources can exploit this by submitting a malicious Promotion
 manifest, with response data retrievable via Promotion status fields, Git repositories, or a second http
 step. This issue has been fixed in versions 1.6.4, 1.7.9, 1.8.12 and 1.9.5. (CVE-2026-32828)

Solution

Update the github.com/akuity/kargo library and its related packages to version 1.6.4 or later.
