CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: cert-manager / cf-cli / cni-plugins / containerd2 / helm / kubernetes (CVE-2025-22872)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 235270

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of cert-manager / cf-cli / cni-plugins / containerd2 / helm / kubernetes installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-22872 advisory.

 - The tokenizer incorrectly interprets tags with unquoted attribute values that end with a solidus character (/) as self-closing. When directly using Tokenizer, this can result in such tags incorrectly being marked as self-closing, and when using the Parse functions, this can result in content following such tags as being placed in the wrong scope during DOM construction, but only when tags are in foreign content (e.g.
 <math>, <svg>, etc contexts). (CVE-2025-22872)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
