Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the policy process. An attacker can bypass intended certificate revocation by submitting a merge request that removes a hard revocation from the signing policy, and if a maintainer merges this request, subsequent commits will not be checked against the revoked certificate. This is only exploitable if a maintainer is tricked into merging a malicious merge request that strips the hard revocation from the policy.
