Possible image tampering from missing image validation for Packages
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/crossplane/crossplane | < 1.11.5 | 1.11.5 |
| Go | github.com/crossplane/crossplane | >= 1.12.0, < 1.12.3 | 1.12.3 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### 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.
