How to fix?

Upgrade httpsig-hyper to version 0.0.23 or higher.

Overview

httpsig-hyper is an implementation of IETF RFC 9421 for HTTP message signatures

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Comparison in the verify_content_digest() function, which treats one of the comparators (_expected_digest) as a pattern binding rather than the underlying value, making the comparison meaningless. An attacker can bypass message integrity checks by submitting a message with a mismatched digest value, which will still be accepted as valid.
