SCA: security update for gov.nsa.emissary:emissary (GHSA-3g6g-gq4r-xjm9)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439990

Description

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

 - Emissary is a P2P based data-driven workflow engine. Prior to 8.39.0, GitHub Actions workflow files
 contained shell injection points where user-controlled workflow_dispatch inputs were interpolated directly
 into shell commands via ${{ }} expression syntax. An attacker with repository write access could inject
 arbitrary shell commands, leading to repository poisoning and supply chain compromise affecting all
 downstream users. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.39.0. (CVE-2026-35580)

Solution

Update the gov.nsa.emissary:emissary library and its related packages to version 8.39.0 or later.
