CVE-2026-123806

NameCVE-2026-123806
Descriptionpython-tuf is a Python reference implementation of The Update Framework (TUF). Prior to 7.0.0, DelegatedRole._is_target_in_pathpattern in tuf/api/_payload.py uses fnmatch.fnmatch, which applies os.path.normcase before matching and makes delegation path authorization case-insensitive on Windows. When a TUF repository has path-based delegations that differ only by case and an attacker-controlled role is visited before the legitimate role, ngclient can accept an attacker-provided target from the wrong delegation for a requested path. Linux and macOS clients are not affected because their path normalization does not change case. This issue is fixed in 7.0.0.
