REDHAT-BUG-2450554: Path Traversal

Published Mar 24, 2026
·
Updated

Tekton Pipelines project provides k8s-style resources for declaring CI/CD-style pipelines. Starting in version 1.0.0 and prior to versions 1.0.1, 1.3.3, 1.6.1, 1.9.2, and 1.10.2, the Tekton Pipelines git resolver is vulnerable to path traversal via the pathInRepo parameter. A tenant with permission to create ResolutionRequests (e.g. by creating TaskRuns or PipelineRuns that use the git resolver) can read arbitrary files from the resolver pod's filesystem, including ServiceAccount tokens. The file contents are returned base64-encoded in resolutionrequest.status.data. Versions 1.0.1, 1.3.3, 1.6.1, 1.9.2, and 1.10.2 contain a patch.

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade Tekton Pipelines git resolver to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 1.0.1Patch patch
  2. Upgrade

    Upgrade Tekton Pipelines git resolver to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 1.3.3Patch patch
  3. Upgrade

    Upgrade Tekton Pipelines git resolver to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 1.6.1Patch patch
  4. Upgrade

    Upgrade Tekton Pipelines git resolver to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 1.9.2Patch patch
  5. Upgrade

    Upgrade Tekton Pipelines git resolver to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 1.10.2Patch patch
  6. Compensating control

    Prevent tenants from creating `ResolutionRequests` and from creating `TaskRuns` or `PipelineRuns` that use the git resolver (since the issue requires `pathInRepo` control via those resources).

  7. Operational

    If exploit attempts may have occurred (e.g., arbitrary file reads from the resolver pod including ServiceAccount tokens), rotate any credentials that could have been exposed from the resolver pod filesystem.
