SCA: security update for github.com/openfga/openfga (GHSA-68m9-983m-f3v5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440086

Description

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

 - OpenFGA is an authorization/permission engine built for developers. In versions 0.1.4 through 1.13.1, when
 OpenFGA is configured to use preshared-key authentication with the built-in playground enabled, the local
 server includes the preshared API key in the HTML response of the /playground endpoint. The /playground
 endpoint is enabled by default and does not require authentication. It is intended for local development
 and debugging and is not designed to be exposed to production environments. Only those who run OpenFGA
 with `--authn-method` preshared, with the playground enabled, and with the playground endpoint accessible
 beyond localhost or trusted networks are vulnerable. To remediate the issue, users should upgrade to
 OpenFGA v1.14.0, or disable the playground by running `./openfga run --playground-enabled=false.`
 (CVE-2026-40293)

Solution

Update the github.com/openfga/openfga library and its related packages to version 1.14.0 or later.
