SCA: security update for github.com/jhaals/yopass (GHSA-6r69-c6wg-7g8m)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 474081

Description

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

 - yopass is a service for securely sharing secrets, passwords, and files. Prior to version 14.7.0, the
 Prometheus metrics middleware in pkg/server/server.go uses the attacker-controlled r.Method value directly
 as the method label for yopass_http_requests_total and yopass_http_request_duration_seconds. Because the
 catch-all route accepts arbitrary HTTP method tokens, an unauthenticated remote attacker can submit many
 unique methods and create metric series that the Prometheus registry never evicts. The resulting monotonic
 memory growth can OOM-kill the process, while the expanding registry also degrades /metrics scrape latency
 and can blind monitoring. This issue is fixed in version 14.7.0. (CVE-2026-107840)

Solution

Update the github.com/jhaals/yopass library and its related packages to version 0.0.0-20260727191436-61e31ead04a4 or later.
