Bumps sigstore/cosign-installer from 3.7.0 to 4.1.2.

Release notes

Sourced from sigstore/cosign-installer's releases.

v4.1.2

What's Changed

v4.1.1

What's Changed

Full Changelog: sigstore/cosign-installer@v4.1.0...v4.1.1

v4.1.0

What's Changed

We recommend updating as soon as possible as this includes bug fixes for Cosign. We also recommend removing with: cosign-release and strongly discourage using cosign-release unless you have a specific reason to use an older version of Cosign.

Full Changelog: sigstore/cosign-installer@v4.0.0...v4.1.0

v4.0.0

What's Changed?

Note: You must upgrade to cosign-installer v4 if you want to install Cosign v3+. You may still install Cosign v2.x with cosign-installer v4.

In version v3+, using cosign sign-blob requires adding the --bundle flag which may require you to update your signing command.

  • Add support for Cosign v3 releases (#201)

v3.10.1

What's Changed?

Note: cosign-installer v3.x cannot be used to install Cosign v3.x. You must upgrade to cosign-installer v4 in order to use Cosign v3.

Note: This is planned to be the final release of Cosign v2, though we will cut new releases for any critical security or bug fixes. We recommend transitioning to Cosign v3.

  • Bump default Cosign to v2.6.1 (#203)

v3.10.0

Walkthrough

The release workflow now installs sigstore/cosign-installer v4.1.2 instead of v3.7.0. The other build, checksum, signing, and release steps are unchanged.

Changes

Release workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update installer version
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow now installs sigstore/cosign-installer v4.1.2 instead of v3.7.0.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested labels: area:infra

Suggested reviewers: manish-9245

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 62864

Updating the installer moves release signing to Cosign v3, but the signing command was not adjusted for it. The release workflow can fail at the signing step and block publication of release artifacts. Fix the signing command (or switch to bundles and update the verification docs) before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 62864

The upgraded installer selects a signing mode that requires a bundle, while the workflow still requests detached signatures and certificates. This is expected to block signed-release generation rather than publish unsigned assets: publication follows signing and produces a manually published draft. No privilege expansion or authentication bypass was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The installer now defaults to Cosign v3.0.6, whose default signing-config mode requires --bundle, but the workflow retains detached signature and certificate arguments without a bundle or compatibility override. Signed-release generation is therefore expected to fail. This affects availability of the authenticated release channel; the evidence does not show unsigned publication or an authentication bypass.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified impact covers artifact signing and draft-release generation for subsequent matching tag runs. The inspected change does not establish broader service, tenant, or data-store exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Release verification binds signatures to a workflow certificate identity and the GitHub Actions issuer. Publication remains a draft requiring a person to publish it. These controls predate the PR and are not weakened by its source changes.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Ordering contains the expected signing failure before publication, rather than allowing an explicit unsigned fallback. The workflow does not define cleanup or rollback of existing drafts; external retry behavior and exact failure-output handling remain unverified.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Make the signing command compatible with Cosign v3.

This update installs Cosign v3.0.6, but Line 55 still uses detached .sig and .pem outputs without --bundle. Cosign v3.0.6 enables the new bundle and signing-config path by default, and this path requires a bundle. The loop therefore fails on its first file, so the publish job cannot upload the release. (github.com)

Add a unique bundle path for each file and update SECURITY.md to verify the bundles. Alternatively, explicitly select the legacy Cosign v3 mode and retain the existing detached-file format. Keep the signing output and documented verification command on the same format.
