GHSA-hm8f-75xx-w2vr
sigstore CSRF possibility in OIDC authentication during signing
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
The sigstore-python OAuth authentication flow is susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery.
### Details
`_OAuthSession` creates a unique "state" and sends it as a parameter in the authentication request but the "state" in the server response seems not not be cross-checked with this value.
Fix should be fairly trivial.
### Impact
This should be low impact: A man-in-the middle attacker could trick a sigstore-python user into signing something with an identity controlled by the attacker (by returning the response to an authentication request they created). This would be quite confusing but not dangerous.
