SCA: security update for github.com/tektoncd/pipeline (GHSA-wjxp-xrpv-xpff)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442304

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. Starting in
 version 1.0.0 and prior to versions 1.0.2, 1.3.4, 1.6.2, 1.9.3, and 1.11.1, the Tekton Pipelines git
 resolver in API mode sends the system-configured Git API token to a user-controlled serverURL when the
 user omits the token parameter. A tenant with TaskRun or PipelineRun create permission can exfiltrate the
 shared API token (GitHub PAT, GitLab token, etc.) by pointing serverURL to an attacker-controlled
 endpoint. Versions 1.0.2, 1.3.4, 1.6.2, 1.9.3, and 1.11.1 fix the issue. (CVE-2026-40161)

Solution

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