SCA: security update for github.com/ory/oathkeeper (GHSA-p224-6x5r-fjpm)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439071

Description

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

 - ORY Oathkeeper is an Identity & Access Proxy (IAP) and Access Control Decision API that authorizes HTTP
 requests based on sets of Access Rules. Versions prior to 26.2.0 are vulnerable to an authorization bypass
 via HTTP path traversal. An attacker can craft a URL containing path traversal sequences (e.g.
 `/public/../admin/secrets`) that resolves to a protected path after normalization, but is matched against
 a permissive rule because the raw, un-normalized path is used during rule evaluation. Version 26.2.0
 contains a patch. (CVE-2026-33494)

Solution

Update the github.com/ory/oathkeeper library and its related packages to version 0.40.10-0.20260320084758-8e0002140491 or later.
