Echo: github.com/kedacore/keda/v2: security update to 2.20.0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465468

Description

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

 - KEDA is a Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling component. Prior to 2.20.0,
 pkg/scalers/postgresql_scaler.go constructs libpq-style connection strings from tenant-controlled host,
 port, userName, dbName, sslmode, and password values, while escapePostgreConnectionParameter() only quotes
 values containing a literal space. Tabs, newlines, carriage returns, form feeds, vertical tabs, quotes,
 and backslashes can therefore create additional key-value tokens when pgx parses the string. An attacker
 able to create or modify a TriggerAuthentication or ScaledObject can inject host or sslmode parameters,
 redirect the database connection to an attacker-controlled server, expose credentials, or disable intended
 TLS protection. This issue is fixed in version 2.20.0. (CVE-2026-53572)

Solution

Update the github.com/kedacore/keda/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.20.0 or later.
