      <title>BREW-ggshield-GHSA-77hh-43cm-v8j6 — tuf's Metadata API:  Targets.get_delegated_role() is missing input validation</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/brew-ggshield-ghsa-77hh-43cm-v8j6</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Homebrew: ggshield&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The security of both a TUF client and repository implementations depend on the concept of trusted Metadata objects verifying the signatures over other Metadata that it delegates to. This verification process uses `Targets.get_delegated_role(delegated_role: str)` to find the delegation information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`tuf.api.metadata.Targets.get_delegated_role()` should ensure that the given `delegated_rolename` is actually a name of a role that is delegated by that Targets, but in the case of &amp;#34;succinct delegation&amp;#34; this does not happen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`tuf.ngclient` users are **not** impacted but direct users of `tuf.api.metadata` could be impacted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If an attacker can make a Metadata API user run `Targets.get_delegated_role()` so that 
1. the `Targets` uses succinct delegation
1. the `delegated_role` argument is not actually delegated by the `Targets`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the result will be incorrect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This also means that if an attacker can make a Metadata API user run `Targets.verify_delegate()` or `Targets.get_verification_result()` so that
1. the delegating `Targets` uses a succinct delegation
1. the `delegated_role` argument is the name of some unrelated Metadata
1. that other Metadata is correctly signed by the keys defined in the succinct delegation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the result would be a successful verification even though the `Targets` in question does not actually delegate to `delegated_role`.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The impact is estimated to be low for following reasons:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* This cannot impact a TUF client that implements the client workflow…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
