This issue only arises if an artifact has an attestation with a predicate type different from the one provided in the command. As a result, users relying solely on these exit codes may mistakenly believe the attestation has been verified, despite the absence of an attestation with the specified predicate type and the tool printing a verification failure.\n\nUsers are advised to update `gh` to version `v2.67.0` as soon as possible.\n\nInitial report: https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/10418\nFix: https://github.com/cli/cli/pull/10421\n\n### Details\n\nThe gh attestation verify command fetches, loads, and attempts to verify attestations associated with a given artifact for a specified predicate type. If an attestation is found, but the predicate type does not match the one specified in the `gh attestation verify` command, the verification fails, but the program exits early.\n\nDue to a re-used uninitialized error variable, when no matching attestations are found, the relevant function returns `nil` instead of an error, causing the program to exit with a status code of `0`, which incorrectly suggests successful verification.\n\n### PoC\n\nRun `gh attestation verify` with local attestations using the `--bundle` flag and specify a predicate type with `--predicate-type` that you know will not match any of the attestations the command will attempt to verify. Confirm that the command exits with a zero status code.\n\n### Impact\n\nUsers who rely exclusively on the exit status code of `gh attestation verify` may incorrectly verify an attestation when the attestation's predicate type does not match the specified predicate type in the command.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/cli/cli/v2","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cli/cli/v2"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2.49.0"},{"fixed":"2.67.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2025/02/GHSA-fgw4-v983-mgp8/GHSA-fgw4-v983-mgp8.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cli/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-fgw4-v983-mgp8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-25204"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/10418"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cli/cli/pull/10421"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/cli/cli"}],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-390"],"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2025-02-14T17:19:14Z","nvd_published_at":"2025-02-14T17:15:19Z","severity":"MODERATE"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N"}]}
