SCA: security update for github.com/sylabs/singularity/v4 (GHSA-wqcr-7rf3-f64m)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442631

Description

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

 - SingularityCE and SingularityPRO are open source container platforms. Prior to SingularityCE 4.4.2 and
 SingularityPRO 4.3.9 and 4.1.14, incorrect path-string matching in the singularity.conf limit container
 paths directive allows a container in a sibling directory such as /data/safe-but-unsafe to be run when
 /data/safe is allowed under setuid mode. This permits a user to run a container from outside the
 administrator's configured path allowlist. Installations that do not use limit container paths are not
 affected. This issue is fixed in SingularityCE 4.4.2 and SingularityPRO 4.3.9 and 4.1.14. (CVE-2026-47215)

Solution

Update the github.com/sylabs/singularity/v4 library and its related packages to version 4.4.2 or later.
