Overview

This PR upgrades Inspektor Gadget to v0.57.0 through the kubescape fork (kubescape/inspektor-gadget#17), as the prerequisite for #1050. It moves every gadget to v0.57.0 together, so the runtime and the bundled gadgets are never on mixed versions.

The main gain is complete exec argv capture (upstream #5600). Arguments are now read from mm->arg_start/arg_end at sched_process_exec, so an entry-time user-memory fault no longer loses them.

Ready to merge. #17 is merged, the IG pin is final and k3s socket discovery is re-verified. Merging is safe on its own: without the release label no image is published. The rule-migration PRs below must merge before a node-agent release with this change reaches users through the chart. See Release blockers below.

Commits

  1. feat(exec): exec path and argument matching for v0.57 semantics
    • GetExecPathFromEvent returns file, then exepath, then comm. In v0.57 file is the symlink-resolved d_path(bprm->file), so it matches what profiles have stored since v0.3.111 (exepath). Profiles learned before the upgrade do not raise new R0001 anomalies.
    • R0040 arguments are matched with matchExecArgv. It compares argv[0] by basename (a leading - is ignored), so an old profile's /bin/sh still matches the new sh, and busybox applets stay distinct. When the profile's first argument is a wildcard, the whole vectors are compared. One shared helper serves both CompareExecArgs call sites, and the stale comment block is rewritten: an empty profile means no constraint, and * is literal.
    • Alert CommandLine/Cmdline are built from the full argv, so the applet name is not lost.
    • Malware scan paths for exec events: a memfd, deleted, or empty file is scanned through /proc/<pid>/exe. For shebang and binfmt_misc execs (file != exepath), both paths are scanned.
    • The exec operator keeps events whose argument payload is empty, with args nil, so a missing capture stays distinct from an argument-less shell.
  2. build(deps): IG pin and gadget bump
    • replace points to kubescape/inspektor-gadget@9864428b (the debugging pr-merged workflow #17 merge on main).
    • The replaces the fork requires are carried over: notation-go and ebpf-profiler.
    • k8s.io is bumped to v0.37.1, and the stale moby/moby require is dropped.
    • VERSION=v0.57.0, and the tracer image constants are updated.
    • The vendored trace_open is rebased onto v0.57.0 with its path-resolution patch kept, and its builder is pinned.
    • CI ig packages move to 0.57.0.
    • TestExecFields now expects tty_major/tty_minor/ctime/fctime/pctime. ustack.boot_timestamp and ustack.otel_correlation_id were added where v0.57 emits them.

Docs: docs/features/inspektor-gadget-fork.md and docs/features/exec-tty-field.md.

Accepted behavior changes

  • glibc system() now reports the exec path /usr/bin/dash on Debian/Ubuntu and /bin/busybox on Alpine, instead of /bin/sh. Args are the real argv, e.g. ["sh","-c","--",":"].
  • Shebang scripts: the path is the script. Profiles learned before the upgrade store a different argument vector, so they raise R0040 until relearned.
  • Legacy capture limits: profiles learned under v0.48.1 hold arguments truncated at 255 bytes and at most 20 arguments. Execs that exceed either limit raise R0040 until relearned.
  • exec -a <name> with a different basename raises R0040. The path is still the real binary.
  • During rollout, profiles that are still learning may get duplicate exec entries, because the args hash changes.
  • Profiles learned before v0.3.111 were already path-mismatched, and that is unchanged.
  • Agents older than v0.3.111 lose the rules gated below.

Release blockers

  • Upgrade Inspektor Gadget fork to v0.57.0 inspektor-gadget#17 must drop 14b30c6ba. Done: reverted in f8c314fa and merged as 9864428b. That fork-only commit turned off kubelet /configz socket discovery unless a kubelet CA bundle is configured. On k3s this PR's image then fails with dial unix /host/run/containerd/containerd.sock: no such file or directory, while v0.3.299 found /run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock through the kubelet. Upstream v0.57.0 keeps discovery. Context: Upgrade Inspektor Gadget fork to v0.57.0 inspektor-gadget#17 (review).
  • Re-pin go.mod to the merged kubescape/inspektor-gadget commit and remove the NOTE marker (602de720; check-ig-pin passes).
  • Re-check on k3s that containers are found without the socket override. Done on 2026-11-02 (k3s v1.36.5, kernel 6.8.0-147) with this PR's image at 602de720: using the detected container runtime socket path from Kubelet's config: /run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock, 19 tracers started, a new pod was tracked to a completed profile, and the positive control raised R0001 (/usr/bin/dash, /usr/bin/cat).
  • Rule migration, merged before any node-agent release that includes this change is consumed. PRs are open for all sources. Every rule that calls the 2-arg parse.get_exec_path(event.args, event.comm) must move to event.exepath != "" ? event.exepath : parse.get_exec_path(event.args, event.comm), which tests/chart already uses and the lint test enforces, with agentVersionRequirement: ">=0.3.111". Otherwise the call returns bare argv[0] values (sh, ls) after the upgrade, and R0001/R0007/R1001/R1004 raise false positives.
  • Do not add the release label until the rule PRs above are merged.

How it was tested

  • go build ./... and go vet ./... are clean. The unit tests for utils, rulemanager, malwaremanager, containerprofilemanager and tracers pass; the *Fields tests need root, as in CI.
  • tracers.tar was built with ig v0.57.0: 5 upstream gadgets at v0.57.0 plus 14 Kubescape gadgets.
  • Live k3s test on a clean droplet (Ubuntu 24.04, kernel 6.8.0-142, k3s v1.36.5, containerd 2.3.4).
    • Setup. The baseline ran quay.io/kubescape/node-agent:v0.3.299 and learned the profiles. Then a helm upgrade to this branch, and a fixed exec list in Debian, Alpine and python:3.12-slim pods.
    • Socket workaround. On the first run, containers were only found with a socket override. After debugging pr-merged workflow #17 dropped 14b30c6ba, discovery through the kubelet works with no override (see the blockers).
    • Exec rows. All 10 matched expectations across 31 exec cases. Expected R0040s fired for shebang, exec -a, legacy limits and the positive control. No R0001 or R0040 fired on sh -c :, system(), /bin/ls or relative execs.
    • Gadgets. No verifier or load errors. All 18 tracers started, and again after a pod restart. current_syscall is 10240 entries, 918,880 bytes memlock.
    • Unrelated alerts. R0006/R0003 on the storage pod were traced to the 1m learning window missing a token re-read that happens every ~3 min. It is not caused by this change.
  • The fork audit of debugging pr-merged workflow #17 (0 missing items) is at Upgrade Inspektor Gadget fork to v0.57.0 inspektor-gadget#17 (review).

Walkthrough

The pull request upgrades Inspektor Gadget from v0.48.1 to v0.57.0. It updates exec-event decoding and path handling, profile argument matching, malware scan paths, alert metadata, and TTY validation.

Changes: Inspektor Gadget upgrade and exec-event handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gadget version, dependencies, and build support
.github/workflows/*, Makefile, go.mod, docs/features/inspektor-gadget-fork.md, pkg/containerwatcher/v2/tracers/*, pkg/ebpf/gadgets/http/tests/verifier_capture.py, pkg/ebpf/gadgets/trace_open/*, pkg/containerprofilemanager/v1/peer_resolution_test.go
Workflow and build defaults, tracer images, and the trace_open builder now use v0.57.0. Dependencies and fork documentation reflect the upgrade.
Exec-event decoding and path resolution
pkg/containerwatcher/v2/tracers/execoperator.go, pkg/containerwatcher/v2/tracers/execoperator_test.go, pkg/utils/datasource_event.go, pkg/utils/events.go, pkg/utils/events_test.go, pkg/utils/struct_event.go, docs/features/inspektor-gadget-fork.md
Exec events accept unavailable arguments and expose a normalized file path. Path resolution uses file, exepath, and process information to identify host files.
Exec alert metadata and malware scanning
pkg/malwaremanager/v1/malware_manager.go, pkg/malwaremanager/v1/malware_manager_test.go, pkg/rulemanager/ruleadapters/adapters/exec.go, pkg/rulemanager/ruleadapters/adapters/exec_test.go, docs/features/inspektor-gadget-fork.md
Malware scanning adds all resolved paths for an exec event. Alert and runtime process metadata use captured arguments as the command line, or the exec path when arguments are unavailable.
Exec argument profile matching
pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/exec.go, pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/exec_argv_test.go, pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/exec_test.go, docs/features/inspektor-gadget-fork.md
Argument matching treats unavailable runtime arguments as unknown and matching. It normalizes argv[0] basenames and applies the configured wildcard and vector-length rules.
TTY fields and validation results
pkg/containerwatcher/v2/tracers/exec_test.go, tests/component_test.go, tests/resources/exec-tty-rules.yaml, docs/features/exec-tty-field.md
Tests and documentation now expect tty_major and tty_minor from v0.57.0 and update the related rule results.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 602de

An executable already allowed by its profile can evade argument-mismatch detection by supplying an oversized first argument. Preserve capture-truncation status and reject that mismatch before merging. The TTY test would also benefit from checking alerts after they settle.

…IG v0.57

IG v0.57 captures the real argv after exec, so argv[0] is no longer the
requested pathname.

- GetExecPathFromEvent returns file, then exepath, then comm; add GetFile()
  to ExecEvent (DatasourceEvent, StructEvent).
- R0040 (cp.was_executed_with_args) uses B1': argv[0] compared by basename
  ignoring a leading '-', full compare when profile[0] contains a wildcard,
  single-element guard, nil/empty runtime argv treated as unknown (match).
  Rewrite the stale matching comment to the storage semantics.
- Exec alert CommandLine/Cmdline are the full argv, falling back to the path.
- Malware scan: add GetHostFilePathsFromEvent; exec scans file, falls back to
  /proc/<pid>/exe for empty, memfd or deleted files, and also scans exepath
  when it differs (shebang, binfmt_misc).
- Exec operator keeps events with an empty args payload (GetArgs() == nil).
- TestExecFields expects tty_major, tty_minor, ctime, fctime, pctime.
- Document field semantics, path order, B1', scan paths and rule gating.

trace_exec v0.57.0 emits tty_major/tty_minor, so GetHasTTY reads the
device major instead of the ambiguous index. Test_35 still encoded the
v0.48.1 contract. CI run 41026324629 measured c-pts0=1, R9903=3, R9904=0.

- R9901 must now fire for the single exec on /dev/pts/0.
- R9903 must fire and R9904 must stay silent.
- Update the rule file comments and docs/features/exec-tty-field.md.

This reverts c6b76fa. Repinning to the fork's main pulled in ~45 inspektor-gadget
commits node-agent has never shipped (uprobetracer, tracercollection, kfilefields,
datasource, container-hook), which is well outside a syft bump. The pin returns to
a9e2040f: node-agent's own IG commit plus only the moby split-client fix, so
container watching moves by nothing.

Moving the IG pin belongs to #1062 (IG v0.57.0 via the kubescape fork). This PR
stays held until that lands, then rebases onto it and drops its inspektor-gadget
replace entirely. check-ig-pin is expected to stay red until then, by design.

Re-pin the replace from the contributor's fork to the merge of
kubescape/inspektor-gadget#17 (9864428b73f8) on the kubescape fork and
drop the NOTE marker, so check-ig-pin passes. The merge reverts the
fork-only commit that disabled kubelet runtime socket discovery without
a CA bundle. The carried notation-go and ebpf-profiler replaces still
match the fork's go.mod.

Nitpick Re-read R9904 after a settle interval before asserting its absence.

3427-3428: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Re-read R9904 after a settle interval before asserting its absence.

The R9904 count uses the alerts snapshot from the poll that first sees R9902 for all three containers. Each rule for one event posts synchronously before the next rule is evaluated. If R9904 is evaluated after R9902, its alert can post after that snapshot. A regression that fires R9904 in that interval passes the zero-count assertion. Query the alerts again after a bounded settle interval. Fail the test if that read fails, so a read error is not counted as absence.

Suggested fix
-	assert.Equal(t, 0, total(alerts, "R9904"),
-		"R9904 must not fire: the pinned gadget emits tty_major, so !has(event.ttyMajor) is false")
+	// R9904 for the same exec can post after the snapshot above. Re-read alerts after a settle interval.
+	time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
+	settled, settleErr := testutils.GetAlerts(ns.Name)
+	require.NoError(t, settleErr, "alerts must be readable after the settle interval")
+	assert.Equal(t, 0, total(settled, "R9904"),
+		"R9904 must not fire: the pinned gadget emits tty_major, so !has(event.ttyMajor) is false")

Review comment at @tests/component_test.go around lines 3427 - 3428:
Update the test around the R9904 assertion to re-read alerts after a bounded
settle interval instead of relying on the earlier alerts snapshot; fail the test
if the re-read fails, then assert that the refreshed results contain no R9904
alerts.
  • Fix comments: Fix CodeRabbit comments on this PR

With IG v0.57 the argv block is capped at 5120 bytes and a trailing
partial argument is dropped. When argv[0] alone exceeds the cap, the
payload has no complete argument, the event carried empty args, and
matchExecArgv treated it as an unknown capture, so R0040 matched any
arguments of a learned binary (exec -a with a long name). Keep the
truncated argv[0] as the only argument instead; an empty payload still
yields nil (argv unknown).

Test_35 now re-reads the alerts after a settle interval before asserting
that R9901 (no-TTY container) and R9904 did not fire, so a late alert
cannot slip past the snapshot taken when R9902 arrived.

@coderabbitai Follow-up comment on tests/component_test.go 3427-3428 (R9904 settle re-read): fixed in 3ce7816. After a 10 s settle interval the test reads the alerts again, with require.NoError on the read. It asserts R9904 == 0 on that fresh read. It does the same for the R9901 no-TTY negative assertion, which had the same snapshot window.

@matthyx Confirmed in tests/component_test.go. After the 10-second settle interval, the test fetches fresh alerts and checks the read with require.NoError. Both the R9901 no-TTY assertion and the R9904 zero-alert assertion use that fresh result. This addresses the stale-snapshot concern.

Learning: For exec events in the Go `pkg/utils` TTY accessors and `docs/features/exec-tty-field.md`, `event.tty` is a driver-local index that does not uniquely identify a device. A nonzero `event.tty` is nevertheless a valid positive controlling-terminal signal; only zero is ambiguous between no terminal and terminals such as `/dev/pts/0`. `GetHasTTY()` falls back to this nonzero check when device-number fields are unavailable, while `event.ttyMajor` is preferred when emitted.

Rebased onto main now that #1062 has merged, and this PR's inspektor-gadget
replace is dropped entirely as requested — the IG pin is #1062's, untouched
here.

What remains is the syft move: require v1.55.0, the fork replace to
kubescape/syft v1.55.0-ks.3, and dropping the stereoscope => v0.1.9 pin, which
syft v1.55.0 cannot use (it needs 0.3.x).

The containerd pins are kept, and re-verified rather than assumed. Building on
top of #1062 without them fails exactly as before:

  containerd@v1.7.36/sandbox/bridge.go:36   grpcBridge missing UpdateSandbox
  containerd/v2@v2.4.1/pkg/oci/spec_opts.go cannot use &limit (*int64) as int64

IG v0.57.0 still requires and imports containerd v1.7.36 (runtime-spec v1.2.1,
api v1.8.0), so the diamond survives the upgrade and containerd/v2 stays at
v2.2.0 with containerd/api at v1.10.0.

Verified with CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64: builds clean.

* fix(node-agent): use exepath-first exec path in default rules

node-agent is moving to Inspektor Gadget v0.57.0 (kubescape/node-agent#1062),
whose trace_exec reads argv after exec. parse.get_exec_path(event.args,
event.comm) then returns argv[0] as written by the caller, usually a bare
name such as "sh" or "ls", which never matches the exepath-based profiles
and makes R0001, R0007, R1001 and R1004 fire on every exec.

Use the exepath-first form that kubescape/rulelibrary's rules-crd.yaml
already ships for these rules, and its args[0] form for R1000's /dev/shm
leg. Snapshots updated with the CI helm-unittest image.

* chore(node-agent): sync default rules with kubescape/rulelibrary

Replace the rules in templates/node-agent/default-rules.yaml with the
output of kubescape/rulelibrary's gen.sh at cb31125, keeping the Helm
wrapper (installDefault guard, namespace, annotations, labels). The rules
are now identical to the rule library:

- new: R0040 (unexpected process arguments) and the admission rules
  R2002-R2006; node-agent v0.3.299 and operator v0.2.204 already provide
  the CEL helpers and variables they use
- updated: tags (context:container), and the expressions, names and
  descriptions of R0006, R0008, R1000, R1003, R1005, R1006, R1011, R1015
- exec path: R0001, R0007, R1001 and R1004 keep the exepath-first form
  needed for node-agent's IG v0.57 upgrade

Snapshots updated with the CI helm-unittest image.
