"The version of runfinch-finch installed on the remote host is prior to 1.17.2-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2DOCKER-2026-137 advisory.

    On Unix systems, opening a file in an os.Root improperly follows symlinks to locations outside of the Root
    when the final path component of the a path is a symbolic link and the path ends in /. For example,
    'root.Open(symlink/)' will open symlink even when symlink is a symbolic link pointing outside of the
    root. (CVE-2026-39822)

    Handshakes which used Encrypted Client Hello could be de-anonymized by a passive network observer due to a
    disclosure of pre-shared key identities in the unencrypted client hello. (CVE-2026-42505)

    A flaw was found in Rekor. The `Package.Unmarshal()` function, which processes Alpine Package Keep (APK)
    files, decompresses gzip streams without limiting the total decompressed size. A remote attacker can
    exploit this by crafting a malicious APK file with a high compression ratio, causing the server to consume
    excessive memory. This leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) through an out-of-memory (OOM) error, and can be
    triggered via unauthenticated API endpoints. (CVE-2026-48702)

    A flaw was found in Fulcio's OpenID Connect (OIDC) Discovery client. This vulnerability allows a remote
    attacker to perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) by redirecting discovery requests to internal
    systems. Additionally, an attacker can manipulate the JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) Uniform Resource Identifier
    (URI) to poison the verifier cache with malicious keys, enabling the validation of attacker-controlled
    signatures. Furthermore, the flaw can lead to the leakage of Kubernetes ServiceAccount tokens to third-
    party hosts through cross-host redirects or misconfigured MetaIssuers, potentially exposing sensitive
    cluster credentials. (CVE-2026-49478)

    A flaw was found in Sigstore Timestamp Authority. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this
    vulnerability by sending requests with arbitrary HTTP paths and methods. This leads to the creation of an
    excessive number of unique metric labels, causing unbounded memory growth and a denial of service (DoS)
    condition on the server. This issue is a type of Improper Restriction of Resource Consumption (CWE-770).
