chore(deps): Bump github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager from 1.20.2 to 1.20.3

[dependabot]

Bumps github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager from 1.20.2 to 1.20.3.

Release notes

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

v1.20.3

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

This patch release fixes a security issue (GHSA-8rvj-mm4h-c258, HIGH) where the default cert-manager-edit aggregate ClusterRole granted namespace users permission to create ACME Challenge and Order resources directly. A user who could create a Challenge referencing a ClusterIssuer could supply attacker-controlled solver configuration while cert-manager loaded credentials from the ClusterIssuer's namespace, bypassing Issuer solver selectors (dnsZones, dnsNames, matchLabels). With the acme-dns provider specifically, this could disclose DNS credentials to an attacker-controlled endpoint.

This release also removes the issuer owner reference from Challenges which was blocking Challenge garbage collection, and updates Go to fix reported CVEs.

All users should upgrade.

[!WARNING] Potentially breaking change: The cert-manager-edit aggregate ClusterRole no longer grants create for challenges.acme.cert-manager.io or create, patch, update for orders.acme.cert-manager.io. These resources are internal to cert-manager's ACME workflow and are not intended to be created or modified directly by users. If you have tooling or workflows that create Challenge or Order resources directly (outside of the normal Certificate → CertificateRequest → Order → Challenge flow), you will need to grant those permissions explicitly.

Hi @dependabot[bot]. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a etcd-io member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.
