CVE-2026-75939
Openshift/oc-mirror: release signature verification: openpgp signatureerror checked before signed body is consumed
A flaw was found in openshift/oc-mirror. The tool incorrectly verifies PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) release image signatures by checking for signature errors before the entire signed body is processed, leading to a bypass of the signature verification. A remote attacker, by intercepting or manipulating network traffic to the signature endpoint, could exploit this to craft a PGP message with a valid Red Hat release key ID but a forged signature. This enables the oc-mirror tool to accept and mirror a malicious release payload into a disconnected registry, potentially compromising the integrity of software deployments.
