How to fix?

Upgrade helm.sh/helm/v3/pkg/plugin to version 2.16.11, 3.3.2 or higher.

Overview

helm.sh/helm/v3/pkg/plugin is a package manager for Kubernetes.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. A Helm plugin can contain duplicates of the same entry, with the last one always used. If a plugin is compromised, this lowers the level of access that an attacker needs to modify a plugin's install hooks, causing a local execution attack. To perform this attack, an attacker must have write access to the git repository or plugin archive (.tgz) while being downloaded (which can occur during a MITM attack on a non-SSL connection).
