Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper counting of unique cryptographic signatures. The core issue exists in functions responsible for: 1) Verifying signature thresholds (verify_threshold) and 2) Performing signature verification (verify_signatures). These functions likely counted multiple signatures from the same key as separate valid signatures rather than enforcing uniqueness. The Python TUF reference implementation's fix shows the solution requires deduplicating by key ID, indicating the vulnerable functions would be those handling signature aggregation and threshold verification.
