Summary

Supersedes #613 — that branch was still on the pre-#616 PKO boilerplate pin (5b58d5f → prefetch 0.3) and failed EC with trusted_task / deny_rule.

Test plan

  • Konflux EC green (main / e2e / pko / pr group)
  • make test / make build with Go 1.26.5 toolchain
  • Confirm CVE-2026-39822 and CVE-2026-42505 cleared in rebuilt image scan

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated the required Go toolchain version to 1.26.5.

Fixes CVE-2026-39822 (CVSS 7.5) and CVE-2026-42505 (CVSS 5.3)
by pinning the Go toolchain to 1.26.5.

Walkthrough

The module now specifies Go toolchain version go1.26.5 and retains language version go 1.26.0.

Changes

Go toolchain configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Go toolchain directive
go.mod
Adds the go1.26.5 toolchain directive while retaining go 1.26.0.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 461e4

The PR adds Go 1.26.5 to go.mod, but production builders may still use older or floating Go images, so rebuilt artifacts might not include the intended CVE remediation. Merge should wait until all production builders are pinned and verified, or the limitation is explicitly accepted.

Out of Scope Changes check ✅ Passed Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names ✅ Passed The commit changes only go.mod by adding toolchain go1.26.5; it changes no test files or Ginkgo test titles, so no unstable test name is introduced.
Test Structure And Quality ✅ Passed The PR diff contains only two go.mod lines; no Ginkgo test or test-related file changed, so these test-quality requirements are inapplicable.
Microshift Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The pull request changes only go.mod by adding a Go toolchain directive. It adds no Ginkgo e2e tests, so MicroShift test compatibility is not applicable.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The diff adds only a go.mod toolchain directive; it adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or SNO-sensitive test behavior.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility ✅ Passed The diff against origin/master changes only go.mod by adding a Go toolchain directive; it adds or modifies no deployment manifests, operator code, or controllers.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract ✅ Passed The diff changes only go.mod by adding toolchain go1.26.5; no Go source changed, so the PR introduces no process-level stdout write.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The PR diff changes only go.mod by adding toolchain go1.26.5; it adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or networking and introduces no IPv4 or external-connectivity requirement.

Container-Privileges ✅ Passed The PR changes only go.mod; it adds no container privilege settings. Existing workload manifests use runAsNonRoot and allowPrivilegeEscalation: false.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs ✅ Passed The PR diff changes only go.mod by adding a Go toolchain directive; it introduces no logging code or sensitive-data output.
Description Check ✅ Passed Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check ✅ Passed The title clearly identifies the Go toolchain update and its purpose of remediating Go standard library CVEs.

Verify provenance, SBOM, and signing for the rebuilt artifact.

This directive pins the compiler version. It does not create an SBOM, provenance attestation, or artifact signature. The supplied build/Dockerfile only shows dependency download and compilation. Verify that the Konflux or release configuration records Go 1.26.5 in the SBOM and provenance, and signs the resulting image with Sigstore/cosign.

As per path instructions, builds must produce provenance attestations and SBOMs, and artifacts must be signed with Sigstore/cosign.

🌐 Web query:

Go 1.26 toolchain directive GOTOOLCHAIN local auto official documentation

💡 Result:

The GOTOOLCHAIN environment variable determines how the Go toolchain selects the version of the go command to execute, particularly in relation to the go and toolchain directives found in go.mod or go.work files [1][2][3]. GOTOOLCHAIN=local When set to local, the go command always uses the bundled Go toolchain (the one that was originally installed/shipped) [1][4]. It will never automatically download newer toolchains, even if the go.mod file requests a newer version [3][5]. This setting preserves the traditional behavior where the developer is responsible for manually managing and updating their installed Go versions [3][4]. GOTOOLCHAIN=auto This is the default setting [1][5]. Under auto, the go command consults the go and toolchain lines in the project's go.mod or go.work file [3][5]. If the project requires a newer version of Go than the one currently running, the toolchain will automatically download and re-execute the requested version [3][5]. The alternate form +auto (e.g., GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.0+auto) allows you to specify a default version to start with, while still permitting automatic switching to a newer version if directed by the project configuration [1][6]. Configuration You can check or update the default behavior using the go env command [1][5]: - To view the current setting: go env GOTOOLCHAIN - To set a permanent default: go env -w GOTOOLCHAIN=local (or auto) These settings apply to the Go toolchain startup process, ensuring that the appropriate compiler and tools are invoked before any other project-level commands are run [3][7].

site:pkg.go.dev/vuln/ GO-2026-4970 Go 1.26.5

💡 Result:

GO-2026-4970 is a Go vulnerability report associated with CVE-2026-39822 [1]. It identifies an issue in the os package where opening a file in an os.Root improperly follows symbolic links outside of the specified root when the path ends in a slash (e.g., root.Open("symlink/")) [1]. This vulnerability affects versions of Go before 1.25.12, versions of Go from 1.26.0-0 before 1.26.5, and versions from 1.27.0-0 before 1.27.0-rc.2 [1]. Consequently, Go 1.26.5 contains the fix for this security issue.

Pin every production builder to Go 1.26.5.

go.mod requests go1.26.5, but the Dockerfile uses Go 1.26.3 and both Tekton production pipelines override it with the floating rhel_9_1.26 image. Pin approved builder images containing Go 1.26.5, and add RUN test "$(go env GOVERSION)" = "go1.26.5" after FROM.
