NVD Description

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

The Verify() method for FIDO/U2F security key types (sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com, sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com) did not check the User Presence flag. Signatures generated without physical touch were accepted, allowing unattended use of a hardware security key. To restore the previous behavior, return a "no-touch-required" extension in Permissions.Extensions from PublicKeyCallback.
