The check incorrectly relies on strings.HasPrefix without normalizing the path, so inputs such as /tekton/home/../results pass validation but resolve to /tekton/results at runtime. This can expose internal data or allow an attacker to place malicious files in locations that the pipeline assumes are safe, potentially compromising pipeline integrity and confidentiality of secret data.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates moderate severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The attacker does not need network access to the host; the vulnerability is local to the Kubernetes cluster where Tekton Pipelines is running."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-22T03:45:06.830948+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-22T06:30:10.673347+00:00", "vendors": ["tektoncd", "tektoncd$PRODUCT$pipeline"]}
