privilegedescalation-engineer[bot] 1c5e50ce8c docs(security): document GHSA-848j-6mx2-7j84 elliptic as accepted risk (#59 )

* Add E2E test infrastructure for kube-vip plugin

Scaffolded via e2e-scaffold.sh (proactive improvement).
- playwright.config.ts, e2e/auth.setup.ts, e2e/kube-vip.spec.ts
- scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh, scripts/teardown-e2e-headlamp.sh
- .github/workflows/e2e.yaml uses reusable workflow
- @playwright/test ^1.58.2 devDep

- PRI-641

* Fix E2E workflow: use pnpm-capable reusable workflow branch

The reusable plugin-e2e.yaml@main lacks pnpm support. Switching to
the PR branch that has pnpm detector, Corepack setup, and pnpm commands.

Will revert to @main once PR #141 merges.

- PRI-619 E2E fix

Plugin Scope

This plugin is read-only. It does not perform any write operations against the Kubernetes cluster. It reads:

Services (type: LoadBalancer)
Nodes
Pods in kube-system
DaemonSets in kube-system
Leases in kube-system
ConfigMaps in kube-system

All data is fetched through Headlamp's built-in API proxy, which respects the user's existing RBAC permissions.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please report security vulnerabilities by opening a private issue or emailing the maintainers directly.

Known Low-Severity Vulnerabilities

GHSA-848j-6mx2-7j84 (elliptic)

Severity: High (but not exploitable in this plugin's context)

Affected component: elliptic (transitive, via vite-plugin-node-polyfills → node-stdlib-browser → crypto-browserify → browserify-sign)

Description: The elliptic library used in this plugin's development dependencies contains a prototype pollution vulnerability. This plugin is a read-only Headlamp plugin that never executes any cryptographic operations at runtime. The vulnerable code path requires:

Use of elliptic curve operations on untrusted input, AND
Ability for an attacker to influence the elliptic curve key generation input

Neither condition is met in this plugin's runtime context.

Remediation: No patched version of elliptic exists on npm. The current override in package.json ("elliptic": ">=6.6.1") is a placeholder — no resolvable version satisfies this constraint.

Risk acceptance rationale:

Plugin has no write operations against the cluster
All data flows through Headlamp's API proxy with standard RBAC enforcement
The vulnerable dependency is only in the development/build toolchain, not runtime
No untrusted input can reach elliptic curve operations through this plugin
