GHSA-pj4x-2xr5-w87m

Possible image tampering from missing image validation for Packages

Quick fix

GHSA-pj4x-2xr5-w87m — github.com/crossplane/crossplane: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

go get github.com/crossplane/crossplane@v1.11.5

Details

### Impact

Crossplanes image backend does not validate the byte contents of Crossplane packages. As such, Crossplane does not detect if an attacker has tampered with a Package.

### Patches

The problem has been fixed in 1.11.5, 1.12.3 and 1.13.0, all the supported versions of Crossplane at the time of writing.

### Workarounds

Only using images from trusted sources and keeping Package editing/creating privileges to administrators only, which should be both considered already best practices.
