How to Fix GHSA-vjg6-93fv-qv64

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 fixed: 3.4.10 
Upgrade go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 to 3.4.10
go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 fixed: 3.3.23 
Upgrade go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 to 3.3.23
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for go.etcd.io/etcd/v3

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-vjg6-93fv-qv64, inspect your project dependencies for Go.etcd.io/etcd/v3:

inspect dependencies for go.etcd.io/etcd/v3

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.4.10), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Source Advisory Statement

### Vulnerability type Logging ### Detail etcd users who have no password can authenticate only through a client certificate. When such users try to authenticate into etcd using the Authenticate endpoint, errors are logged with insufficient information regarding why the authentication failed, and may be misleading when auditing etcd logs. ### References Find out more on this vulnerability in the [security audit report](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/master/security/SECURITY_AUDIT.pdf) ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Contact the [etcd security committee](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/master/security/security-release-process.md#product-security-committee-psc)
