Code execution via unsigned update manifests
Published Nov 18, 2025 · Updated Nov 18, 2025
Improper update authentication in GoSign Desktop 2.4.0 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through crafted updates. The UpdateManager accepts an unsigned manifest whose package URL and SHA-256 hash can both be replaced when proxy mode disables TLS certificate validation. An attacker must either intercept the proxy-routed connection or locally change proxy settings; installed code runs as the desktop user on Windows and macOS and can run as root on Linux.
