SCA: security update for github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo (GHSA-q23m-vm9r-5745)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442250

Description

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

- podinfo through 6.11.2 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the /echo and /api/echo
endpoints where the echoHandler writes request body content directly to the response without setting
explicit Content-Type or X-Content-Type-Options headers. Attackers can craft cross-origin HTML pages with
auto-submitting forms containing script payloads in the request body, which are served as text/html due to
Go's content type detection, allowing the reflected script to execute in the podinfo origin context when
victims visit the attacker's page. (CVE-2026-43644)

Solution

Update the github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo library and its related packages to version 1.8.1-0.20260519111337-cbebb20fd485 or later.
