SCA: security update for dev.sigstore:sigstore-java (GHSA-q4xm-6fjc-5f6w)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417885

Description

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

 - sigstore-java is a sigstore java client for interacting with sigstore infrastructure. sigstore-java has
 insufficient verification for a situation where a validly-signed but "mismatched" bundle is presented as
 proof of inclusion into a transparency log. This bug impacts clients using any variation of
 KeylessVerifier.verify(). The verifier may accept a bundle with an unrelated log entry, cryptographically
 verifying everything but fails to ensure the log entry applies to the artifact in question, thereby
 "verifying" a bundle without any proof the signing event was logged. This allows the creation of a bundle
 without fulcio certificate and private key combined with an unrelated but time-correct log entry to fake
 logging of a signing event. A malicious actor using a compromised identity may want to do this to prevent
 discovery via rekor's log monitors. The signer's identity will still be available to the verifier. The
 signature on the bundle must still be on the correct artifact for the verifier to pass. sigstore-gradle-
 plugin and sigstore-maven-plugin are not affected by this as they only provide signing functionality. This
 issue has been patched in v1.1.0 release with PR #856. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no
 known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-53267)
