SCA: security update for github.com/tektoncd/pipeline (GHSA-rmx9-2pp3-xhcr)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440695

Description

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

- Tekton Pipelines project provides k8s-style resources for declaring CI/CD-style pipelines. From 0.43.0 to
1.11.0, trusted resources verification policies match a resource source string (refSource.URI) against
spec.resources[].pattern using regexp.MatchString. In Go, regexp.MatchString reports a match if the
pattern matches anywhere in the string, so common unanchored patterns (including examples in tekton
documentation) can be bypassed by attacker-controlled source strings that contain the trusted pattern as a
substring. This can cause an unintended policy match and change which verification mode/keys apply.
(CVE-2026-25542)

Solution

Update the github.com/tektoncd/pipeline library and its related packages to version 1.0.2 or later.
