SCA: security update for github.com/kumahq/kuma/v2 (GHSA-v95x-xhq5-4929)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444796

Description

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

- Kuma is a modern Envoy-based service mesh that can run on every cloud across both Kubernetes and VMs.
Prior to 2.7.26, 2.9.16, 2.11.14, 2.12.11, and 2.13.7, a kumactl profile manually configured for an HTTPS
control plane without --ca-cert-file disables TLS peer verification and sends API tokens over the
unverified connection. An attacker on the network path can intercept user or administrator API tokens and
act against the control plane as the compromised user. The default local profile is unaffected because it
uses plain HTTP. This issue is fixed in versions 2.7.26, 2.9.16, 2.11.14, 2.12.11, and 2.13.7.
(CVE-2026-50166)

Solution

Update the github.com/kumahq/kuma/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.14 or later.
