CVE-2026-6967

EUVD-2026-25628

24.04.2026, 20:16

Missing expiration, hash, and length enforcement in delegated metadata validation in awslabs/tough before tough-v0.22.0 allows remote authenticated users with delegated signing authority to bypass TUF specification integrity checks for delegated targets metadata and poison the local metadata cache, because load_delegations does not apply the same validation checks as the top-level targets metadata path.

We recommend you upgrade to tough-v0.22.0 / tuftool-v0.15.0.
