SCA: security update for github.com/gohugoio/hugo (GHSA-fw87-fv5r-9fpw)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443345

Description

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

 - Hugo is a static site generator. From 0.123.0 to 0.161.1, a regression made RootMappingFs.statRoot use
 Stat (follows symlinks) instead of Lstat , so a direct resources.Get of a symlink pointing outside its
 mount returned the target's contents — letting a symlink planted in a local mount (e.g. a vendored themes/
 theme) read arbitrary files accessible to the Hugo user. Go-module themes from GitHub (symlinks stripped)
 and directory walks were unaffected. Fixed in 0.162.0. (CVE-2026-50135)

Solution

Update the github.com/gohugoio/hugo library and its related packages to version 0.162.0 or later.
