  - 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)
