SCA: security update for chainguard.dev/apko (GHSA-hcwr-pq9g-rq3m)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441085

Description

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

 - apko allows users to build and publish OCI container images built from apk packages. Prior to version
 1.2.7, apko verifies the signature on APKINDEX.tar.gz but never compares individually downloaded .apk
 packages against the checksum recorded in the signed index. The checksum is parsed and available via
 ChecksumString(), and the downloaded package control hash is computed, but the two values are never
 compared in getPackageImpl(). Mismatched packages are silently accepted. An attacker who can substitute
 download responses (compromised mirror, HTTP repository, poisoned CDN cache) can install arbitrary
 packages into built images. This issue has been patched in version 1.2.7. (CVE-2026-42575)

Solution

Update the chainguard.dev/apko library and its related packages to version 1.2.7 or later.
