SCA: security update for golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent (GHSA-f5wc-c3c7-36mc)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443974

Description

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

 - When adding a key to a remote agent constraint extensions such as [email protected]
 were not serialized in the request. Destination restrictions were silently stripped when forwarding keys,
 allowing unrestricted use of the key on the remote host. The client now serializes all constraint
 extensions. Additionally, the in-memory keyring returned by NewKeyring() now rejects keys with unsupported
 constraint extensions instead of silently ignoring them. (CVE-2026-39832)

Solution

Update the golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent library and its related packages to version 0.52.0 or later.
