Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Tekton Pipeline Git resolver passes the user-supplied revision parameter to git fetch without checking for a leading dash, so it can be treated as a git flag. Affected versions are 1.0.0 to before 1.0.2, 1.2.0 to before 1.3.4, 1.4.0 to before 1.6.2, 1.7.0 to before 1.9.3, and 1.10.0 to before 1.11.1. An attacker who can submit resolution requests may be able to run an arbitrary binary on the resolver pod, which the source says could expose cluster Secrets. Upgrade to 1.0.2, 1.3.4, 1.6.2, 1.9.3, or 1.11.1, depending on your release line.
