CVE-2026-23991

Security Disclosure: Client DoS via malformed server response

Summary

If the TUF repository (or any of its mirrors) returns invalid TUF metadata JSON (valid JSON but not well formed TUF metadata), the client will panic during parsing, causing a DoS. The panic happens before any signature is validated. This means that a compromised repository/mirror/cache can DoS clients without having access to any signing key.

Impact

Client crashes upon receiving and parsing malformed TUF metadata. This can cause long running services to enter an restart/crash loop.

Workarounds

None currently.

Affected code

The metadata.checkType function did not properly type assert the (untrusted) input causing it to panic on malformed data.

CVE-2026-23992

Security Disclosure: Improper validation of configured threshold for delegations

Summary

A compromised or misconfigured TUF repository can have the configured value of signature thresholds set to 0, which effectively disables signature verification.

Impact

Unathorized modification to TUF metadata files is possible at rest, or during transit as no integrity checks are made.

Patches

Upgrade to v2.3.1

Workarounds

Always make sure that the TUF metadata roles are configured with a threshold of at least 1.

Affected code:

The metadata.VerifyDelegate did not verify the configured threshold prior to comparison. This means that a misconfigured TUF repository could disable the signature verification by setting the threshold to 0, or a negative value (and so always make the signature threshold computation to pass).
