SCA: security update for github.com/sigstore/cosign (GHSA-vjxv-45g9-9296)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419396

Description

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

 - cosign is a container signing and verification utility. In versions prior to 1.10.1 cosign can report a
 false positive if any attestation exists. `cosign verify-attestation` used with the `--type` flag will
 report a false positive verification when there is at least one attestation with a valid signature and
 there are NO attestations of the type being verified (--type defaults to "custom"). This can happen when
 signing with a standard keypair and with "keyless" signing with Fulcio. This vulnerability can be
 reproduced with the
 `distroless.dev/static@sha256:dd7614b5a12bc4d617b223c588b4e0c833402b8f4991fb5702ea83afad1986e2` image.
 This image has a `vuln` attestation but not an `spdx` attestation. However, if you run `cosign verify-
 attestation --type=spdx` on this image, it incorrectly succeeds. This issue has been addressed in version
 1.10.1 of cosign. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
