Root Cause Analysis
The CVE description explicitly identifies gotuf/signed/verify.go
as the vulnerable component. The core vulnerability stems from improper algorithm validation during signature verification. The Verify()
function would be the primary location where signature validation occurs, and the lack of algorithm/key compatibility check would manifest here. While no direct patch is shown, the vulnerability pattern matches a missing validation step in the verification workflow that would be observable in this function's execution path during exploitation.
