Rollback of OCI artifacts via unenforced expiration
Published Jan 19, 2024 · Updated May 30, 2025
Improper expiration handling in Notary Project Specifications 1.0.1 and earlier allows attackers to consume outdated OCI artifacts. Permissive, audit, and skip trust-policy levels log or bypass expiration and revocation failures instead of rejecting a stale signed artifact. A compromised registry and a consumer using a relaxed policy are required; the result is rollback to a previously signed artifact and exposure to flaws it contains.

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.
