Summary

This PR fixes CVE-2026-33186 by upgrading google.golang.org/grpc from v1.78.0 to v1.79.3 on the release-v0.43.x branch.

CVE Details

  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33186
  • GHSA: GHSA-p77j-4mvh-x3m3
  • Package: google.golang.org/grpc
  • Severity: CRITICAL (CVSS 9.1)
  • Impact: Authorization bypass via missing leading slash in HTTP/2 :path pseudo-header. Servers using path-based authorization (grpc/authz) could have "deny" rules bypassed when a fallback "allow" rule was present.
  • Vulnerable versions: < 1.79.3
  • Fixed version: 1.79.3
  • Jira Issues: SRVKP-11965

Changes

  • Updated google.golang.org/grpc v1.78.0 → v1.79.3 in go.mod
  • Ran go mod tidy && go mod verify to clean up dependencies
  • Updated vendor directory with go mod vendor

Test Results

Status: ✅ Build PASSED

Build check: go build ./cmd/... succeeded (exit code 0)
Test command: go test ./pkg/... (tests run in CI after PR creation)
Note: Full test suite requires end-to-end environment setup. Unit tests run via CI.

Breaking Changes

None expected. This is a patch upgrade within v1.79.x. The fix adds input validation to reject :path headers missing a leading slash — previously these were accepted (potentially bypassing auth), now they return codes.Unimplemented.

Verification Steps

  • Confirm google.golang.org/grpc is at v1.79.3+ in go.mod
  • CI passes (build + unit tests)
  • No regression in gRPC-based functionality

Risk Assessment

Risk: Low — Patch upgrade with no API changes. Fix adds stricter input validation.

Closing - fix needs to be on openshift-pipelines/pipelines-as-code, not tektoncd upstream.
