SCA: security update for github.com/sigstore/cosign (GHSA-w6c6-c85g-mmv6)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440001

Description

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

- Cosign provides code signing and transparency for containers and binaries. Prior to 3.0.6 and 2.6.3,
cosign verify-blob-attestation may erroneously report a "Verified OK" result for attestations with
malformed payloads or mismatched predicate types. For old-format bundles and detached signatures, this was
due to a logic flaw in the error handling of the predicate type validation. For new-format bundles, the
predicate type validation was bypassed completely. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.6 and 2.6.3.
(CVE-2026-39395)

Solution

Update the github.com/sigstore/cosign library and its related packages to version 2.6.3 or later.
