[dependabot]

Bumps github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager from 1.18.2 to 1.18.5.

Release notes

Sourced from github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager's releases.

v1.18.5

cert-manager is the easiest way to automatically manage certificates in Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters.

This release is contains three bug fixes, including a fix for the MODERATE severity DoS issue in GHSA-gx3x-vq4p-mhhv. All users should upgrade to the latest release.

Changes by Kind

Bug or Regression

• Fixed an infinite re-issuance loop that could occur when an issuer returns a certificate with a public key that doesn't match the CSR. The issuing controller now validates the certificate before storing it and fails with backoff on mismatch. (#8414, @​cert-manager-bot)
• Fixed an issue where HTTP-01 challenges failed when the Host header containing an IPv6 address. This means that users can now issue IP address certificates for IPv6 address subjects. (#8437, @​cert-manager-bot)
• Security (MODERATE): Fix a potential panic in the cert-manager controller when a DNS response in an unexpected order was cached. If an attacker was able to modify DNS responses (or if they controlled the DNS server) it was possible to cause denial of service for the cert-manager controller. (#8467, @​SgtCoDFish)

Other (Cleanup or Flake)

• Bump go to 1.24.12 (#8460, @​SgtCoDFish)

Changes since v1.18.3

Bug or Regression

• Update Go to v1.24.11 to fix CVE-2025-61727 and CVE-2025-61729 (#8295, @​wallrj-cyberark)

Other (Cleanup or Flake)

• Update cert-manager's ACME client, forked from golang/x/crypto (#8271, @​SgtCoDFish)
• Updated Debian 12 distroless base images (#8328, @​wallrj-cyberark)

v1.18.3

cert-manager is the easiest way to automatically manage certificates in Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters.

We fixed a bug which caused certificates to be re-issued unexpectedly, if the issuerRef kind or group was changed to one of the "runtime" default values. We increased the size limit when parsing PEM certificate chains to handle leaf certificates with large numbers of DNS named or other identities. We upgraded Go to 1.24.9 to fix various non-critical security vulnerabilities.

Changes since v1.18.2:
