SCA: security update for gitlab.com/uniget-org/cli (GHSA-qmcq-xw74-w667)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446016

Description

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

 - uniget is a universal installer and updater for (container) tools. Prior to 0.27.6, the hooks edit command
 in cmd/uniget/hooks.go parses UNIGET_EDITOR or EDITOR with strings.Split(editor, " ") and passes every
 space-delimited suffix as an argument to the selected editor executable. An attacker who can influence the
 editor environment and cause hook editing can supply unexpected editor arguments, potentially causing
 unintended actions with the privileges of the uniget process account. Go os/exec does not evaluate shell
 operators in these arguments, so the advisory's wrapper demonstration establishes argument delivery but
 does not establish shell command interpretation. This issue is fixed in version 0.27.6. (CVE-2026-55061)

Solution

Update the gitlab.com/uniget-org/cli library and its related packages to version 0.27.6 or later.
