Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - sigstore-go is a Go library for Sigstore signing and verification. Prior to 1.2.1, sigstore-go does not check a bundle signing timestamp against the validity window of an ExpiringKey wrapping a self-managed long-lived signing key without a certificate, which can allow an attacker holding expired key material to sign accepted bundles. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.1. (CVE-2026-54787)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
