Description
sigstore-go is a Go library for Sigstore signing and verification. Prior to 1.2.1, sigstore-go does not check a bundle signing timestamp against the validity window of an ExpiringKey wrapping a self-managed long-lived signing key without a certificate, which can allow an attacker holding expired key material to sign accepted bundles. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.1.
