SCA: security update for github.com/forgekeep/nebula-mesh (GHSA-cm26-5974-52h8)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444720

Description

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

- nebula-mesh is a self-hosted control plane for Slack Nebula mesh VPN. Prior to version 0.7.1, revocation
is the only in-band mechanism that isolates a compromised/offboarded host from a Nebula mesh. Because the
blocklist never reaches any peer's config.yml, a Blocked host retains full overlay reachability to every
peer under its CA (and internal services on the mesh) for up to 30d (agent) / 365d (mobile). An attacker
who exfiltrates host.key+host.crt can run stock slackhq/nebula directly, ignore the agent's 403/410 poll
responses, and stay connected after the operator revokes the host. Operator-visible state (UI shows
blocked, audit log records it) is misleading. This issue has been patched in version 0.7.1.
(CVE-2026-61699)

Solution

Update the github.com/forgekeep/nebula-mesh library and its related packages to version 0.7.1 or later.
