SCA: security update for github.com/kumahq/kuma/v2 (GHSA-wvmp-6r4v-j6cv)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444804

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, Universal mode kuma-dp connections to an HTTPS
 control plane disable TLS peer verification when --ca-cert-file is not supplied and
 KUMA_CONTROL_PLANE_CA_CERT is unset. The dataplane authentication token is sent over the unverified
 connection, allowing an on-path attacker to intercept the token, impersonate the control plane, inject a
 forged bootstrap configuration, and take over the proxy. Standard Kubernetes installations created by
 kumactl install control-plane or the official Helm chart are unaffected because the mutating admission
 webhook injects KUMA_CONTROL_PLANE_CA_CERT into each sidecar. This issue is fixed in versions 2.7.26,
 2.9.16, 2.11.14, 2.12.11, and 2.13.7. (CVE-2026-52724)

Solution

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