Summary

Upgrades the Go toolchain from version 1.25.2 to 1.25.5 to address CVE-2025-61729.

Vulnerability Details

  • CVE ID: CVE-2025-61729
  • Severity: HIGH (CVSS 7.5)
  • Component: crypto/x509 (Go standard library)
  • Issue: Quadratic runtime DoS in HostnameError.Error() method
  • Fixed Version: Go 1.25.5 (and 1.24.11)

Impact on Cloudbeat

Cloudbeat is not affected by this vulnerability because:

  • The vulnerable code path only triggers during TLS hostname verification failures
  • Cloudbeat exclusively connects to legitimate cloud provider APIs (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes) with valid certificates
  • An attacker would need to MITM connections and provide malicious certificates, which is prevented in Cloudbeat's operational environment

Nevertheless, this upgrade is recommended as part of standard security maintenance.

Changes

  • Updated go.mod: go 1.25.2go 1.25.5
  • Updated .go-version: 1.25.41.25.5
  • No code changes required

Test Plan

  • Build succeeded with Go 1.25.5
  • CI tests pass
  • Integration tests pass

Pull request overview

This PR attempts to upgrade the Go toolchain from versions 1.25.2/1.25.4 to 1.25.5 to address CVE-2025-61729, a high-severity DoS vulnerability in the crypto/x509 package. However, there is a critical issue: Go 1.25.5 does not appear to be a valid or existing version. The correct target version should be verified, likely Go 1.24.11 or a 1.23.x patch release.

Key Changes:

  • Updated go.mod to specify Go 1.25.5
  • Updated .go-version to 1.25.5
  • No code changes required
