CVE-2026-31830: sigstore-ruby verifier returns success for DSSE bundles with mismatched in-toto subject digest

March 11, 2026 (updated March 19, 2026)

Sigstore::Verifier#verify does not propagate the VerificationFailure returned by verify_in_toto when the artifact digest does not match the digest in the in-toto attestation subject. As a result, verification of DSSE bundles containing in-toto statements returns VerificationSuccess regardless of whether the artifact matches the attested subject.
