SCA: security update for github.com/notaryproject/notation-go (GHSA-45v3-38pc-874v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409971

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - notion-go is a collection of libraries for supporting sign and verify OCI artifacts. Based on Notary
 Project specifications. This issue was identified during Quarkslab's audit of the timestamp feature.
 During the timestamp signature generation, the revocation status of the certificate(s) used to generate
 the timestamp signature was not verified. During timestamp signature generation, notation-go did not check
 the revocation status of the certificate chain used by the TSA. This oversight creates a vulnerability
 that could be exploited through a Man-in-The-Middle attack. An attacker could potentially use a
 compromised, intermediate, or revoked leaf certificate to generate a malicious countersignature, which
 would then be accepted and stored by `notation`. This could lead to denial of service scenarios,
 particularly in CI/CD environments during signature verification processes because timestamp signature
 would fail due to the presence of a revoked certificate(s) potentially disrupting operations. This issue
 has been addressed in release version 1.3.0-rc.2 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
 workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-56138)
