GHSA-xvrc-2wvh-49vc is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.2) CWE-347 vulnerability in github.com/sigstore/gitsign. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-xvrc-2wvh-49vc is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Gitsign's Rekor public keys fetched from upstream API instead of local TUF client.
Real-World Exposure
github.com/sigstore/gitsignReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
In certain versions of gitsign, Rekor public keys were fetched via the Rekor API, instead of through the local TUF client. If the upstream Rekor server happened to be compromised, gitsign clients could potentially be tricked into trusting incorrect signatures.
There is no known compromise the default public good instance (rekor.sigstore.dev) - anyone using this instance is unlikely to be affected.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/sigstore/gitsign. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update github.com/sigstore/gitsign to 0.8.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xvrc-2wvh-49vc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-xvrc-2wvh-49vc is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-xvrc-2wvh-49vc. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-xvrc-2wvh-49vc in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-xvrc-2wvh-49vc across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
