v4.0.3Security

Kubescape v4.0.3 is a small patch release adding a --grype-db-url flag for offline/airgapped Grype database usage, plus a bug fix for missing host errors and dependency bumps.

• enhancementUse --grype-db-url for airgapped or private mirror setups

  If you run Kubescape in environments without direct internet access, the new --grype-db-url flag lets you point image scans at an internal Grype DB mirror. Set this in your CI pipelines or operator configs now rather than patching environment variables or workarounds you may have hacked together previously.

• breakingMissing host now returns an error — check your error handling

  Previously, a missing host in scan targets silently returned nil instead of an error. If your pipelines or scripts were treating a zero-exit-code as success in these cases, they may now surface failures they were previously ignoring. Test your scan workflows after upgrading to make sure error handling behaves as expected.

• securitygo-git updated to v5.16.5 — pull this upgrade promptly

  go-git patch releases frequently address vulnerabilities in git protocol parsing. Review the go-git v5.16.5 changelog to confirm whether any CVEs are addressed, and prioritize this upgrade if your Kubescape usage involves scanning git repositories or if you embed Kubescape as a library.
