CVE-2026-39395
Cosign provides code signing and transparency for containers and binaries.
Published Apr 7, 2026 · corrected/updated Jul 24, 2026 · sigstore cosign · evidence confidence medium
Cosign provides code signing and transparency for containers and binaries. Prior to 3.0.6 and 2.6.3, cosign verify-blob-attestation may erroneously report a "Verified OK" result for attestations with malformed payloads or mismatched predicate types. For old-format bundles and detached signatures, this was due to a logic flaw in the error handling of the predicate type validation. For new-format bundles, the predicate type validation was bypassed completely. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.6 and 2.6.3.
