CVE-2026-64655 Detail
Received
This CVE record has recently been published to the CVE List and has been included within the NVD dataset. DescriptionGitHub CLI (gh) is GitHub’s official command line tool. Prior to 2.97.0, gh attestation verify builds the certificate Subject Alternative Name matcher from the --signer-repo and --signer-workflow flag values without escaping regex metacharacters, so a user-supplied repository or workflow name is treated as a regular expression rather than a literal string. Because GitHub permits characters such as `.` in organization, repository, and workflow path names and `.` is a regex wildcard, an attacker can register a lookalike name (for example github/artifact.attestations-workflows) that satisfies a matcher intended for a different trusted signer (github/artifact-attestations-workflows), bypassing the intended Sigstore attestation verification. Exploitation requires the attacker to create a plausible lookalike repository and produce valid attestations from it, which could undermine supply chain verification for CI/CD pipelines or policy gates that pin trust to a specific signing workflow. This issue is fixed in version 2.97.0. Metrics
