high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445290

Description

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

 - Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.32.5, Kiota honored a poisoned
 .kiota/workspace.json workspace configuration without validating per-client or per-plugin outputPath
 values during kiota client generate and kiota plugin generate, allowing a malicious repository or pull
 request to use absolute paths, rooted POSIX / paths, UNC \\ or // paths, Windows drive X:\ paths, or ..
 traversal segments to write generated client files outside the workspace root on a developer or CI host.
 This issue is fixed in version 1.32.5. (CVE-2026-59863)

Solution

Update the Microsoft.OpenApi.Kiota library and its related packages to version 1.32.5 or later.
