CVE-2026-48758

sigstore-js: DSSE payloadType type-binding failure

Published Jul 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
sigstore-js provides JavaScript libraries for interacting with Sigstore services. Prior to 3.2.1, the preAuthEncoding function in @sigstore/core uses Node.js ascii encoding when converting the PAE string to bytes, allowing payloadType to be mutated after signing without invalidating the signature and breaking the type-binding guarantee that DSSE is designed to provide. This issue is fixed in version 3.2.1.
