How to fix?

Upgrade Wolfi zot to version 2.1.16-r2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream zot package and not the zot package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

Distribution is a toolkit to pack, ship, store, and deliver container content. Prior to 3.1.1, tag deletion via the DELETE /v2/<name>/manifests/<tag> endpoint bypasses the storage.delete.enabled: false configuration, allowing any API client to remove tags from repositories even when the operator has explicitly disabled deletion. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.1.
