CVE-2026-48816

CVSS v3.1

6.5

Média

VetorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
sigstore-js derives a transparency-log timestamp from tlogEntries[].integratedTime and uses it to validate certificate validity windows and satisfy timestampThreshold. For bundle v0.2, a tlog entry can be inclusionProof-only (no signed inclusionPromise/set), and the inclusion proof path does not cryptographically bind integratedTime. As a result, an attacker who can supply an untrusted bundle can influence time-based verification decisions by choosing integratedTime.

impact

If a consumer accepts attacker-provided bundle v0.2 inputs and relies on tlog-derived timestamps for certificate validity checks, verification can be influenced by an unauthenticated timestamp value. This is a trust gap: integratedTime is treated as a trusted observer timestamp under inclusionProof-only mode even though only the signed inclusionPromise/set path binds it.

affected code

  • packages/verify/src/bundle/index.ts (adds a transparency-log timestamp whenever integratedTime != 0)
  • packages/verify/src/timestamp/index.ts (converts integratedTime to a Date)
  • packages/verify/src/verifier.ts (verifies timestamps before verifying tlog inclusion)
  • packages/verify/src/tlog/index.ts + packages/verify/src/tlog/set.ts (only the inclusionPromise/set path binds integratedTime)

proof of concept

The attached poc.zip contains a self-contained harness that reproduces the behavior on the pinned commit and includes both a canonical test and a negative control.
repro:
  1. extract poc.zip into a fresh directory and run the make targets:
bash
unzip poc.zip -d poc
cd poc/poc-F-SIG-JS-TLOGTIME-001
make canonical
make control
  1. confirm canonical.log includes:
[CALLSITE HIT]:
[PROOF MARKER]:
  1. confirm control.log includes:
[NC MARKER]:

suggested fix

Only treat integratedTime as a trusted timestamp when it is cryptographically bound (for example, via a verified signed inclusionPromise/set). For inclusionProof-only entries, do not count integratedTime toward timestampThreshold, and do not use it for certificate validity decisions unless there is another signed time source (for example, an rfc3161 timestamp).
