CVE-2024-51746  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-287  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/sigstore/gitsign/pkg/rekor to version 0.11.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication due to the use of the search API to fetch entries that apply to a signature being verified. An attacker can manipulate the verification process by ensuring that the search parameters match either the public key or the payload.

Note: This can lead to the selection of an incorrect Rekor entry, which might not match the payload being verified, thus allowing the verification to pass incorrectly.
