Echo: go.temporal.io/server: security update to 1.27.4

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 460683

Description

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

- When system.enableCrossNamespaceCommands is enabled (on by default), the Temporal server permits certain
workflow task commands (e.g. StartChildWorkflowExecution, SignalExternalWorkflowExecution,
RequestCancelExternalWorkflowExecution) to target a different namespace than the namespace authorized at
the gRPC boundary. The frontend authorizes RespondWorkflowTaskCompleted based on the outer request
namespace, but the history service later resolves and executes the command using the namespace embedded in
command attributes without authorizing the caller for that target namespace. This can allow a worker
authorized for one namespace to create, signal, or cancel workflows in another namespace. This issue
affects Temporal: through 1.29.1. Fixed in 1.27.4, 1.28.2, 1.29.2. (CVE-2025-14987)

Solution

Update the go.temporal.io/server library and its related packages to version 1.27.4 or later.
