Crossplane v2.3.6
security+*!!!!
Crossplane v2.3.6 updates the Go toolchain to 1.26.7 and bumps google.golang.org/grpc to v1.83.2 and golang.org/x/crypto to v0.56.0, which the release notes say pick up upstream CVE fixes, including a gRPC advisory. It also fixes a package revision hand-off bug where an outgoing revision could fail to release CRD control, leaving the incoming provider stuck with cannot establish control of object and no pod created.
What changes for platform teams
Platform teams running Crossplane packages should pick up this patch, since providers stuck on a replaced revision previously needed manual CRD owner-reference edits or deletion of the stale revision. The security content is dependency bumps only, not a vulnerability in Crossplane's own code.
Changes
- Dependency security updates: Bumps the Go toolchain to 1.26.7 (#7815), google.golang.org/grpc to v1.83.2 (#7799, #7825), and golang.org/x/crypto to v0.56.0 (#7809) to pick up upstream CVE fixes — including the gRPC advisory GHSA-2v4p-qf9q-27wj. Also refreshes the lock file (#7778).security
- Update module google.golang.org/grpc to v1.83.1 [security] (release-2.3)security
- Update module golang.org/x/crypto to v0.56.0 [security] (release-2.3)security
- Update module google.golang.org/grpc to v1.83.2 [security] (release-2.3)security
- Package revisions now take control of established objects from the revision they replace: An outgoing package revision could fail to relinquish control of the package's CRDs, leaving the incoming revision permanently unhealthy with cannot establish control of object. The provider's pod would never be created, so that provider could do no work without manual intervention by someone either deleting the stale revision or editing the CRD's owner reference by hand. Package revisions now directly take control from the revision they replace, so the hand-off succeeds without any intervention. Backported in #7827, originally fixed in #7733.added
