Request: v4.1.1 patch release for golang.org/x/net security fix (CVE-2026-39821) #625

Description

@Joe482

Summary

We are running x509-certificate-exporter in production and have a security
VRR deadline of June 30, 2026 for CVE-2026-39821 (golang.org/x/net/idna —
Improper Authentication).

What we found

  • v4.1.0 (current latest stable) still contains the vulnerability via golang.org/x/net v0.54.0
  • Commit 50ee4ab bumps golang.org/x/net → v0.55.0 which fixes the CVE
  • We scanned enix/x509-certificate-exporter:4.2.0-rc.1 (which contains this
    commit) with Snyk — 0 vulnerabilities found, CVE-2026-39821 confirmed fixed

Request

Would it be possible to backport commit 50ee4ab and cut a v4.1.1 patch
release? This would be the minimal change needed to resolve the CVE without
requiring a full v4.2.0 stable release. Alternatively a stable v4.2.0 would
also work.

We cannot deploy a release candidate to production at Axon and the June 30 deadline
is tight (18 days away). Thank you!
