SCA: security update for github.com/kube-logging/logging-operator (GHSA-mjqf-28ph-426h)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445468

Description

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

- Logging operator automates the deployment and configuration of Kubernetes logging pipelines. Prior to
6.6.0, the Fluentd configuration renderer FluentRender in pkg/sdk/logging/model/render/fluent.go writes
CRD strings such as Flow record_transformer.records values directly into fluent.conf without escaping,
allowing a user who can create Flow resources to inject a Fluentd <match **> block using @type exec and
execute arbitrary commands inside the Fluentd aggregator. This issue is fixed in version 6.6.0.
(CVE-2026-54680)

Solution

Update the github.com/kube-logging/logging-operator library and its related packages to version 0.0.0-20260608145523-cf437d7f1e05 or later.
