CVE-2025-8454  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:14 devscripts.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream devscripts package and not the devscripts package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was discovered that uscan, a tool to scan/watch upstream sources for new releases of software, included in devscripts (a collection of scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier), skips OpenPGP verification if the upstream source is already downloaded from a previous run even if the verification failed back then.
