Hi @dasanind, thanks for raising this PR. I wanted to clarify the intent here I've done a full analysis (govulncheck + 4-algorithm call graph + vendor inspection + manual review) and confirmed that the golang.org/x/net/html vulnerable functions (Parse, ParseFragment, Render) are never called in our codebase. The dependency chain is test-only (k8sreporter → sanitize.BaseName() which is pure string manipulation, no HTML parsing). So from a CVE-2026-27136 perspective, we're not vulnerable and the trackers could be closed as "Not a Bug." was this PR raised for compliance purposes rather than exploitability? If it's compliance-driven, we'd need to apply the same bump across all tracked versions (4.22 through 4.12), not just this one. Would appreciate your clarification so we can align on the right approach.
