How to fix?

There is no fixed version for github.com/sigstore/cosign/cmd/cosign/cli/verify.

Overview

github.com/sigstore/cosign/cmd/cosign/cli/verify is a package that aims to make signatures invisible infrastructure.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the process of reading attachments from a remote image entirely into memory without checking the size of the attachment first. An attacker can cause a denial of service of the host machine by including a large attachment in a remote image. If the attachment's size exceeds the available memory of the machine, it will lead to a system-wide denial of service. This vulnerability can escalate from a compromised registry to the user, impacting not only the availability of the service but also potentially leading to data loss in other services relying on available memory, such as databases.
