Untrusted code installation via shared GPG settings
Published Mar 19, 2024 · Updated Feb 25, 2026
Race condition in OSBuild Composer before 94.0.0 allows local users to disable GPG checks for repositories used in image builds. SourceConfig.RepoConfig stores pointers to reused loop variables, so repositories unintentionally share CheckGPG and CheckRepoGPG values and the insecure value can win. Exploitation requires privileged local control of both a GPG-checked third-party repository and another repository with checking disabled, after which a man-in-the-middle attacker can place untrusted packages in the image.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
