Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Inconsistent Special Elements due to inconsistent handling of negation operators in glob pattern processing. An attacker can cause unintended rule matching or bypass intended restrictions by crafting layouts that are interpreted differently across implementations.

Note: This is only exploitable when two different implementations are used to verify the same layout and attestation bundle at different stages of the same pipeline.
