SCA: security update for github.com/ory/kratos (GHSA-hgx2-28f8-6g2r)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439070

Description

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

 - Ory Kratos is an identity, user management and authentication system for cloud services. Prior to version
 26.2.0, the ListCourierMessages Admin API in Ory Kratos is vulnerable to SQL injection due to flaws in its
 pagination implementation. Pagination tokens are encrypted using the secret configured in
 `secrets.pagination`. An attacker who knows this secret can craft their own tokens, including malicious
 tokens that lead to SQL injection. If this configuration value is not set, Kratos falls back to a default
 pagination encryption secret. Because this default value is publicly known, attackers can generate valid
 and malicious pagination tokens manually for installations where this secret is not set. As a first line
 of defense, immediately configure a custom value for `secrets.pagination` by generating a
 cryptographically secure random secret. Next, upgrade Kratos** to a fixed version, 26.2.0 or later, as
 soon as possible. (CVE-2026-33503)

Solution

Update the github.com/ory/kratos library and its related packages to version 1.3.1-0.20260320110106-9d7085948039 or later.
