A flaw was found in operator-sdk-builder. The software uses a flexible label, called a mutable tag, to identify its base container image instead of a unique, fixed identifier. This practice allows the underlying base image to change unexpectedly between builds. Such a change could introduce vulnerabilities or malicious code into the build process, posing a supply chain integrity risk.
