Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-22 20:28 – Updated: 2026-02-27 21:37Summary
The legacy TUF client pkg/tuf/client.go, which supports caching target files to disk, constructs a filesystem path by joining a cache base directory with a target name sourced from signed target metadata, but it does not validate that the resulting path stays within the cache base directory.
Note that this should only affect clients that are directly using the TUF client in sigstore/sigstore or are using an older version of Cosign. As this TUF client implementation is deprecated, users should migrate to https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-go/tree/main/pkg/tuf as soon as possible.
Note that this does not affect users of the public Sigstore deployment, where TUF metadata is validated by a quorum of trusted collaborators.
Impact
A malicious TUF repository can trigger arbitrary file overwriting, limited to the permissions that the calling process has.
Workarounds
Users can disable disk caching for the legacy client by setting SIGSTORE_NO_CACHE=true in the environment, migrate to https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-go/tree/main/pkg/tuf, or upgrade to the latest sigstore/sigstore release.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-21 16:19 – Updated: 2026-01-22 15:43Security Disclosure: Improper validation of configured threshold for delegations
Summary
A compromised or misconfigured TUF repository can have the configured value of signature thresholds set to 0, which effectively disables signature verification.
Impact
Unathorized modification to TUF metadata files is possible at rest, or during transit as no integrity checks are made.
Patches
Upgrade to v2.3.1
Workarounds
Always make sure that the TUF metadata roles are configured with a threshold of at least 1.
Affected code:
The metadata.VerifyDelegate did not verify the configured threshold prior to comparison. This means that a misconfigured TUF repository could disable the signature verification by setting the threshold to 0, or a negative value (and so always make the signature threshold computation to pass).

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-26 23:49 – Updated: 2026-01-29 03:26Security Vulnerability: Path Traversal in TAP 4 Multirepo Client
Summary
go-tuf's TAP 4 Multirepo Client uses the map file repository name string (repoName) as a filesystem path component when selecting the local metadata cache directory. If an application accepts a map file from an untrusted source, an attacker can supply a repoName containing traversal (e.g., ../escaped-repo) and cause go-tuf to create directories and write the root metadata file outside the intended LocalMetadataDir cache base, within the running process's filesystem permissions.
Affected Component
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| File | metadata/multirepo/multirepo.go |
| Function | (*MultiRepoClient) initTUFClients() error |
| Callsite | metadataDir := filepath.Join(client.Config.LocalMetadataDir, repoName) (around line 129 at the pinned commit) |
Impact
When the TAP 4 map file content is attacker-controlled, this enables arbitrary file write relative to the process permissions (via metadata persistence during client initialization). This can be used to overwrite files writable by the process (for example, configuration files in writable directories) and may enable further compromise depending on the deployment environment.
Note: Exploitability is deployment-dependent. If the map file is always local and trusted (not attacker-controlled), this reduces to a misconfiguration risk rather than a remotely triggerable issue.
Attacker Model
- Attacker can cause the application to load a TAP 4 map file whose
repositorieskeys are attacker-controlled (for example: fetched from a URL, supply-chain substituted, or otherwise attacker-influenced input). - Local caching is enabled (
DisableLocalCache=false) and the configuredLocalMetadataDiris writable by the running process.
Claim Ceiling: HIGH when the map file is attacker-controlled; if the map file is always local and trusted, this is closer to a configuration footgun and likely lands as MEDIUM/LOW.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Affected Versions | ≤ 2.4.0 |
| Verified On | Commit bde5f18dc95dfac365fc452ee4e278e5fd66d4b4 (tag v2.4.0) |
Note: First affected version has not been bisected.
Reproduction
Attachments include poc.zip with:
- canonical.log (contains [CALLSITE_HIT], [PROOF_MARKER])
- control.log (contains [CALLSITE_HIT], [NC_MARKER], does not contain [PROOF_MARKER])
- fix.patch (minimal validation sketch)
Expected: Multirepo repository names are treated as identifiers; a TAP 4 map file containing traversal or absolute paths is rejected (or safely normalized so that all writes stay under LocalMetadataDir).
Actual: A traversal repoName escapes LocalMetadataDir and go-tuf persists root.json under the escaped path during initialization.
Run Local Repro
rm -rf _poc
mkdir -p _poc
unzip -q -o poc.zip -d _poc
cd _poc/poc
make canonical
make control
Workarounds
- Treat TAP 4 map files as trusted configuration only (do not fetch from untrusted sources).
- Validate repo names before passing the map file to go-tuf (reject absolute paths, path separators, and traversal components like
./..). - If acceptable for the application, disable local caching to avoid writing metadata to disk (
DisableLocalCache=true).
Suggested Remediation
Validate multirepo repository names as identifiers (not paths) before using them in filepath.Join. Reject:
- Absolute paths
- Path separators (/ and \)
- Traversal components (. and ..)
If it is important to accept a wider set of repo names, a safer alternative is to map repo names to a stable, validated directory name (for example via encoding or hashing) and to ensure all writes stay under the cache base directory.
Triage Questions
- Is the TAP 4 map file expected to ever be fetched from untrusted sources in supported deployments?
- Should invalid repo names be treated as a hard error (reject initialization), or as a soft error (skip that repository entry)?

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-13 14:58 – Updated: 2026-01-13 14:58Impact
A Cosign bundle can be crafted to successfully verify an artifact even if the embedded Rekor entry does not reference the artifact's digest, signature or public key. When verifying a Rekor entry, Cosign verifies the Rekor entry signature, and also compares the artifact's digest, the user's public key from either a Fulcio certificate or provided by the user, and the artifact signature to the Rekor entry contents. Without these comparisons, Cosign would accept any response from Rekor as valid. A malicious actor that has compromised a user's identity or signing key could construct a valid Cosign bundle by including any arbitrary Rekor entry, thus preventing the user from being able to audit the signing event.
This vulnerability only affects users that provide a trusted root via --trusted-root or when fetched automatically from a TUF repository, when no trusted key material is provided via SIGSTORE_REKOR_PUBLIC_KEY. When using the default flag values in Cosign v3 to sign and verify (--use-signing-config=true and --new-bundle-format=true for signing, --new-bundle-format=true for verification), users are unaffected. Cosign v2 users are affected using the default flag values.
This issue had previously been fixed in https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/security/advisories/GHSA-8gw7-4j42-w388 but recent refactoring caused a regression. We have added testing to prevent a future regression.
Steps to Reproduce
echo blob > /tmp/blob
cosign sign-blob -y --new-bundle-format=false --bundle /tmp/bundle.1 --use-signing-config=false /tmp/blob
cosign sign-blob -y --new-bundle-format=false --bundle /tmp/bundle.2 --use-signing-config=false /tmp/blob
jq ".rekorBundle |= $(jq .rekorBundle /tmp/bundle.2)" /tmp/bundle.1 > /tmp/bundle.3
cosign verify-blob --bundle /tmp/bundle.3 --certificate-identity-regexp='.*' --certificate-oidc-issuer-regexp='.*' /tmp/blob
Patches
Upgrade to Cosign v2.6.2 or Cosign v3.0.4. This does not affect Cosign v1.
Workarounds
You can provide trusted key material via a set of flags under certain conditions. The simplest fix is to upgrade to the latest Cosign v2 or v3 release.
Note that the example below works for cosign verify, cosign verify-blob,cosign verify-blob-attestation, andcosign verify-attestation`.
SIGSTORE_REKOR_PUBLIC_KEY=<path to Rekor pub key> cosign verify-blob --use-signing-config=false --new-bundle-format=false --bundle=<path to bundle> <artifact>

"details": "### Impact\n\nA Cosign bundle can be crafted to successfully verify an artifact even if the embedded Rekor entry does not reference the artifact\u0027s digest, signature or public key. When verifying a Rekor entry, Cosign verifies the Rekor entry signature, and also compares the artifact\u0027s digest, the user\u0027s public key from either a Fulcio certificate or provided by the user, and the artifact signature to the Rekor entry contents. Without these comparisons, Cosign would accept any response from Rekor as valid. A malicious actor that has compromised a user\u0027s identity or signing key could construct a valid Cosign bundle by including any arbitrary Rekor entry, thus preventing the user from being able to audit the signing event.\n\nThis vulnerability only affects users that provide a trusted root via `--trusted-root` or when fetched automatically from a TUF repository, when no trusted key material is provided via `SIGSTORE_REKOR_PUBLIC_KEY`. When using the default flag values in Cosign v3 to sign and verify (`--use-signing-config=true` and `--new-bundle-format=true` for signing, `--new-bundle-format=true` for verification), users are unaffected. Cosign v2 users are affected using the default flag values.\n\nThis issue had previously been fixed in https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/security/advisories/GHSA-8gw7-4j42-w388 but recent refactoring caused a regression. We have added testing to prevent a future regression.\n\n#### Steps to Reproduce\n\n```\necho blob \u003e /tmp/blob\ncosign sign-blob -y --new-bundle-format=false --bundle /tmp/bundle.1 --use-signing-config=false /tmp/blob\ncosign sign-blob -y --new-bundle-format=false --bundle /tmp/bundle.2 --use-signing-config=false /tmp/blob\njq \".rekorBundle |= $(jq .rekorBundle /tmp/bundle.2)\" /tmp/bundle.1 \u003e /tmp/bundle.3\ncosign verify-blob --bundle /tmp/bundle.3 --certificate-identity-regexp=\u0027.*\u0027 --certificate-oidc-issuer-regexp=\u0027.*\u0027 /tmp/blob\n```\n\n### Patches\n\nUpgrade to Cosign v2.6.2 or Cosign v3.0.4. This does not affect Cosign v1.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nYou can provide trusted key material via a set of flags under certain conditions. The simplest fix is to upgrade to the latest Cosign v2 or v3 release.\n\nNote that the example below works for `cosign verify`, `cosign verify-blob, `cosign verify-blob-attestation`, and `cosign verify-attestation`.\n\n```\nSIGSTORE_REKOR_PUBLIC_KEY=\u003cpath to Rekor pub key\u003e cosign verify-blob --use-signing-config=false --new-bundle-format=false --bundle=\u003cpath to bundle\u003e \u003cartifact\u003e\n```",
