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@v1.11.5Details
### 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.
