CVE-2026-40923

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

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, a validation bypass in the VolumeMount path restriction allows mounting volumes under restricted /tekton/ internal paths by using .. path traversal components. The restriction check uses strings.HasPrefix without filepath.Clean, so a path like /tekton/home/../results passes validation but resolves to /tekton/results at runtime. Versions 1.0.2, 1.3.4, 1.6.2, 1.9.3, and 1.11.1 fix the issue.

A partir de la versión 1.0.0 y antes de las versiones 1.0.2, 1.3.4, 1.6.2, 1.9.3 y 1.11.1, una omisión de validación en la restricción de ruta de VolumeMount permite montar volúmenes bajo rutas internas restringidas /tekton/ utilizando componentes de salto de ruta ... La comprobación de la restricción utiliza strings.HasPrefix sin filepath.Clean, por lo que una ruta como /tekton/home/.. / results pasa la validación pero se resuelve a /tekton/results en tiempo de ejecución. Las versiones 1.0.2, 1.3.4, 1.6.2, 1.9.3 y 1.11.1 corrigen el problema."
