Obtain the attestation:

REKOR_UUID=108e9186e8c5677a13e773b2ae0f6c52943d2b44a284030efb9b43068a9927a698b4799e13342b14
rekor-cli get --uuid $REKOR_UUID --format json | jq -r .Attestation | jq .

Verify that all container images in the attestation are in the release file:

RELEASE_FILE=https://infra.tekton.dev/tekton-releases/pipeline/previous/v1.16.0/release.yaml
REKOR_UUID=108e9186e8c5677a13e773b2ae0f6c52943d2b44a284030efb9b43068a9927a698b4799e13342b14

# Obtains the list of images with sha from the attestation
REKOR_ATTESTATION_IMAGES=$(rekor-cli get --uuid "$REKOR_UUID" --format json | jq -r .Attestation | jq -r '.subject[]|.name + ":v1.16.0@sha256:" + .digest.sha256')

# Download the release file
curl -L "$RELEASE_FILE" > release.yaml

# For each image in the attestation, match it to the release file

  printf $image; grep -q $image release.yaml && echo " ===> ok" || echo " ===> no match";
done

Upgrade Notices

  • 🚨 set-security-context enabled by default

action required: set-security-context now defaults to true and applies only to Tekton-injected TaskRun containers and Affinity Assistants (#9589, #10680). User-defined Steps and Sidecars must supply their own restricted-compatible security contexts. If the generated security contexts are incompatible with your images or Kubernetes implementation, set set-security-context to "false".

Changes

Features

  • ✨ feat(tracing): add spans for task parameter and workspace substitution #9801 (#10271)

Add tracing spans to the task parameter and workspace substitution pipeline in the TaskRun reconciler to improve observability and performance tracking. No user-facing changes.

  • ✨ test(notifications): cover CustomRun initTracing span propagation (#10559)
  • ✨ feat: enable set-security-context feature flag by default (#9589)

Fixes

  • 🐛 fix(CI): update golang-ci install URL to use main branch (#10659)

Update the golangci-lint installation URL

  • 🐛 fix(nightlies): pass previousReleaseTag/releaseName to tkn pipeline start (#10550)
  • 🐛 fix(ci): bump codeql-action/analyze to match init (#10516)
  • 🐛 fix: end root tracing span at reconciliation completion (#9699)

Fix root tracing span lifecycle in TaskRun and PipelineRun reconcilers to cover the full reconciliation cycle instead of ending immediately after initialization.
