Conversation
Resolves all three open Dependabot alerts on main, which are all the same package (google.golang.org/grpc, an indirect dependency reached via github.com/spiffe/go-spiffe/v2/workloadapi): high CVE-2026-84445 fixed in 1.82.2 high CVE-2026-84304 fixed in 1.83.1 medium CVE-2026-84303 fixed in 1.83.1 Bumping to 1.83.2 clears all three. Dependabot #533 also fixes these, but it bundles k8s.io/* 0.36.3 -> 0.37.0 and sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime 0.24.1 -> 0.25.0. Those are minor bumps of the operator's core dependencies, and taking them into main mid-RC (we are at v0.8.0-rc.1 with GA pending) is a wider blast radius than a security fix warrants. This change is the CVE fix alone: grpc plus five small transitive bumps, with no k8s or controller-runtime movement. #533 can land after GA. Verified with CGO_ENABLED=0 and -mod=readonly: build clean, vet clean, 19 test packages pass. Four packages (cmd, internal/controller, internal/webhook/v1alpha1, test/e2e) fail locally for want of envtest binaries and a Kind cluster; they fail identically on unmodified main, so the failures are environmental and pre-existing rather than caused by this bump. CI covers them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Mariusz Sabath <mrsabath@gmail.com>

Fix: grpc 1.82.1 → 1.83.2, which is above the fix version for all three, plus five transitive bumps that go mod tidy carries along.

Clears all three open Dependabot alerts on

Why this instead of #533
Dependabot #533 also fixes these CVEs and its CI is fully green, but it is labeled "minor-and-patch" while actually bundling:
k8s.io/*0.36.3 → 0.37.0sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime0.24.1 → 0.25.0Those are minor bumps of the operator's core Kubernetes dependencies. Taking them into
mainmid-RC — we are atv0.8.0-rc.1with GA pending — is a wider blast radius than a security fix warrants.This PR is the CVE fix alone. The full diff is grpc plus five small transitive bumps (
cel.dev/expr,golang.org/x/{crypto,net,text,tools}), with no k8s or controller-runtime movement. #533 remains open and can land after GA.Verification
