Go 1.26 toolchain directive GOTOOLCHAIN local auto official documentation

💡 Result:

The GOTOOLCHAIN environment variable determines how the Go toolchain selects the version of the go command to execute, particularly in relation to the go and toolchain directives found in go.mod or go.work files [1][2][3]. GOTOOLCHAIN=local When set to local, the go command always uses the bundled Go toolchain (the one that was originally installed/shipped) [1][4]. It will never automatically download newer toolchains, even if the go.mod file requests a newer version [3][5]. This setting preserves the traditional behavior where the developer is responsible for manually managing and updating their installed Go versions [3][4]. GOTOOLCHAIN=auto This is the default setting [1][5]. Under auto, the go command consults the go and toolchain lines in the project's go.mod or go.work file [3][5]. If the project requires a newer version of Go than the one currently running, the toolchain will automatically download and re-execute the requested version [3][5]. The alternate form +auto (e.g., GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.0+auto) allows you to specify a default version to start with, while still permitting automatic switching to a newer version if directed by the project configuration [1][6]. Configuration You can check or update the default behavior using the go env command [1][5]: - To view the current setting: go env GOTOOLCHAIN - To set a permanent default: go env -w GOTOOLCHAIN=local (or auto) These settings apply to the Go toolchain startup process, ensuring that the appropriate compiler and tools are invoked before any other project-level commands are run [3][7].

site:pkg.go.dev/vuln/ GO-2026-4970 Go 1.26.5

💡 Result:

GO-2026-4970 is a Go vulnerability report associated with CVE-2026-39822 [1]. It identifies an issue in the os package where opening a file in an os.Root improperly follows symbolic links outside of the specified root when the path ends in a slash (e.g., root.Open("symlink/")) [1]. This vulnerability affects versions of Go before 1.25.12, versions of Go from 1.26.0-0 before 1.26.5, and versions from 1.27.0-0 before 1.27.0-rc.2 [1]. Consequently, Go 1.26.5 contains the fix for this security issue.

Pin every production builder to Go 1.26.5.

go.mod requests go1.26.5, but the Dockerfile uses Go 1.26.3 and both Tekton production pipelines override it with the floating rhel_9_1.26 image. Pin approved builder images containing Go 1.26.5, and add RUN test "$(go env GOVERSION)" = "go1.26.5" after FROM.

In `@go.mod` around lines 5 - 6, Align every production builder with the go.mod
toolchain directive by pinning Dockerfile and Tekton builder images to approved
images containing Go 1.26.5 instead of Go 1.26.3 or floating rhel_9_1.26, and
add an immediate GOVERSION validation after each builder FROM declaration.
