NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kine package and not the kine package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

The in-memory keyring returned by NewKeyring() silently accepted keys with the ConfirmBeforeUse constraint but never enforced it. The key would sign without any confirmation prompt, with no indication to the caller that the constraint was not in effect. NewKeyring() now returns an error when unsupported constraints are requested.
