Description

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

 - go-tuf is a Go implementation of The Update Framework (TUF). Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to
 version 2.3.1, a compromised or misconfigured TUF repository can have the configured value of signature
 thresholds set to 0, which effectively disables signature verification. This can lead to unauthorized
