SCA: security update for github.com/jm33-m0/emp3r0r/core (GHSA-4595-rvpx-4q34)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448000

Description

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

- emp3r0r is a C2 designed by Linux users for Linux environments. Prior to version 4.2.5, the `http_poll` C2
transport accepts attacker-controlled HTTP polling sessions before CBOR `MsgAuth` authentication is
completed. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create arbitrary polling sessions and send request bodies
that are forwarded into the C2 dispatch path. This can consume server resources and trigger pre-auth C2
processing. Version 4.2.5 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-61554)

Solution

Update the github.com/jm33-m0/emp3r0r/core library and its related packages to version 0.0.0-20260531142011-aed3d81641ab or later.
