[master] ACM-35865: CVE-2026-39828 Bump golang.org/x/crypto to v0.52.0 using replace directive (client module)

[shay23bra]

Bump golang.org/x/crypto to v0.52.0 to fix CVE-2026-39828 using a replace directive

Strategy Selection

Strategies Not Applicable

• Direct dependency version bump
  Not applicable: dependency is indirect. Direct version bumps only work for explicitly required modules.

• Direct dependency major version upgrade
  Not applicable: dependency is indirect. Major version upgrades only apply to direct dependencies.

• Indirect dependency fix via parent update
  Exception: unhandled errors in a TaskGroup (1 sub-exception)

• Indirect to direct dependency conversion
  Attempted to pin golang.org/x/crypto to a fixed version, but Go reverted it to indirect at v0.0.0-20220622213112-05595931fe9d. No other module requires this version directly, so the explicit requirement was automatically removed by Go's module resolution.

✓ Successful Strategy: Replace directive workaround

Added replace directive to override module resolution. Used as last resort when standard updates fail.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 15

✅ Passed checks (15 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title is specific and accurately summarizes the x/crypto CVE fix via a replace directive in the client module.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description includes the change summary, CVE motivation, issue link, and strategy context, with only minor template sections left sparse.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	PR only changes module metadata (go.mod/go.sum/vendor) and touches no test files, so it introduces no Ginkgo titles.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	No Ginkgo or other test files changed; the patch only updates dependency metadata, so this check is not applicable.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	No new Ginkgo e2e tests were added; the PR only changes client go.mod/go.sum/vendor metadata, so MicroShift compatibility is not implicated.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	Only client/go.mod changed; no new or modified Ginkgo/e2e tests were added, so no SNO-specific compatibility issue applies.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	Only Go dependency files changed (go.mod, go.sum, vendor/modules.txt); no manifests, operators, or controllers were modified.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	Only dependency metadata changed (go.mod/go.sum/vendor/modules.txt); no process-level code or stdout writes were added.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	Only dependency files changed; no new Ginkgo e2e tests or network-using test code were added.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	PR only updates module metadata to x/crypto v0.52.0; no weak algorithms, custom crypto, or insecure secret comparisons appear in changed code.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	PR only changes Go module metadata (client/go.mod, go.sum, vendor/modules.txt); no container/K8s manifest settings like privileged or hostPID were introduced.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	Only dependency metadata changed; no application logging or sensitive-data handling was added in the diff.
