CVE-2026-85747: Distribution: Client `manifests.Get()` does not verify returned content against requested digest

October 15, 2026

registry/client.(*manifests).Get(ctx, dgst, …) fetches a manifest by digest but never hashes the returned body and compares it against the requested digest. A malicious or compromised registry, or any MITM on the registry connection, can serve arbitrary manifest bytes in response to a digest-pinned request and the client returns the substituted content transparently to the caller. Any application relying on digest pinning for supply-chain integrity — image policy controllers, mirrors, pull-through caches — is silently undermined. The bundled pull-through proxy (registry/proxy/proxymanifeststore.go) is itself an unguarded consumer and is directly exploitable.
