CVE 5.9 MEDIUM

Missing Delegated Metadata Validation in awslabs/tough_CVE-2026-6967

5.9 / 10
MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L

Description

Missing expiration, hash, and length enforcement in delegated metadata validation in awslabs/tough before tough-v0.22.0 allows remote authenticated users with delegated signing authority to bypass TUF specification integrity checks for delegated targets metadata and poison the local metadata cache, because load_delegations does not apply the same validation checks as the top-level targets metadata path.

We recommend you upgrade to tough-v0.22.0 / tuftool-v0.15.0.
