SCA: security update for github.com/openshift-pipelines/pipelines-as-code (GHSA-6f2p-296r-cc28)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446140

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Pipelines-as-Code is a CI/CD system that lets users define Tekton pipelines in source code repositories.
 Prior to 0.37.8, 0.39.6, 0.42.1, and 0.48.0, a GitHub App installation token created during webhook
 processing is not scoped to the repository that triggered the event when the App is installed across
 multiple repositories. A user with push access to one repository can submit a PipelineRun containing a
 pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/task remote task annotation that targets a private repository in the same
 installation. When ScopeTokenToListOfRepos returns no explicit scope, the missing triggering repository ID
 leaves the token able to access the entire installation. Pipelines-as-Code resolves and inlines the remote
 private task with that token, disclosing the repository's Tekton definitions. The demonstrated impact is
 read-only and does not provide write access. This issue is fixed in versions 0.37.8, 0.39.6, 0.42.1, and
 0.48.0. (CVE-2026-54168)

Solution

Update the github.com/openshift-pipelines/pipelines-as-code library and its related packages to version 0.37.8 or later.
