Hello @dashpole, we are also seeing CVE-2023-44487 as part of the package. This requires upgrading golang to a newer patch version to pull in the latest net package.

Hi Team ,
When there is plan for metrics server v0.6.5

[dgrisonnet]

The plan is to cut v0.7.0 next: #1165

I believe https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server/releases/tag/v0.7.1 is not affected by any of these

Should we close this issue?

By the way, some of these don't seem to affect metrics-server, namely

• CVE-2023-39533 because metrics-server doesn't use libp2p
• CVE-2023-39319 because metrics-server doesn't use html/template
• CVE-2023-39318 because metrics-server doesn't use html/template

Perhaps we can use VEX in the future to communicate this to users instead

#1499

Edited: html/template does seem to come as a transitive dependency from prometheus packages, but I still think metrics-server was not affected
