fix(github): warn when attestations are skipped because the Sigstore trust root is unreachable - #14036
Conversation
…trust root is unreachable A TUF fetch failure was classified as a signature failure, and when another attestation verified it was never reported at all. Give trust-root fetch failures their own error, say so in the debug diagnostics, and warn once when verification passed with attestations left unchecked. Also log per-attestation failures on the direct GitHub API path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Entire-Checkpoint: 01M49WC1SB9A7E3YBRQQ4FM04P

TrustRootfor TUF root-load failures.When embedded verification fails and the GitHub TUF root cannot load, preserve the
TrustRootvariant while retaining both error details. The verification loops count onlyTrustRooterrors, so a later successful attestation can otherwise suppress the intended warning.This affects classification and warning output only. It does not make an attestation pass without signature verification.

…tHub TUF retry When the embedded GitHub root rejected a bundle and fetching GitHub's TUF root also failed, the retry helper rewrapped the failure as a verification error, so it was not counted and no warning appeared. Preserve the TrustRoot category and name both the Sigstore and GitHub TUF repositories in the warning.

… problem TufConfig loading can also fail on invalid or expired metadata, for example from a misconfigured mirror. Say the trust root could not be loaded, name an unreachable repository as the usual cause rather than the only one, and point at -v for details.

Pass a TrustRoot-failing bundle before a valid bundle to
verify_attestation_bundles, then assert success and exactly one warning with the skipped count. Existing tests check retry error preservation and call the warning helper directly; neither exercises the aggregator, so dropping the count or its success-path warning call would pass.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Run a bundle that needs an unreachable Sigstore TUF root ahead of a valid GitHub release attestation through the attestation aggregator and assert it still passes with exactly one warning carrying the skipped count. Serialize the tests that load the real Sigstore root against the one that overrides the global TUF URL, and make the partial-success test use the embedded-root fixture so it no longer needs the network.

When mise verifies a GitHub release's attestations, it passes as soon as any one of them verifies. If the others were skipped because the Sigstore trust root couldn't be fetched, nothing said so, and the debug line added in #14035 labelled the cause "attestation signature verification failed".
Reported in #14033: in a sandbox that blocks
tuf-repo-cdn.sigstore.dev, installinggithub:DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp@0.11.0printedThe two GitHub-internal attestations verified against the embedded root. The two public-good Sigstore ones (SLSA provenance and SBOM) need the TUF fetch, failed, and were never mentioned.
What changes
A failure to load the Sigstore or GitHub TUF trust root is now its own error (
AttestationError::TrustRoot) instead of being folded into a signature failure, including when GitHub's root is loaded as a retry after the embedded root rejects a bundle. Debug output for those attestations reads "could not load the TUF trust root needed to verify the signature".When verification passes while some attestations were left unchecked for that reason, mise logs one warning:
The direct GitHub API path now logs each failed attestation at debug level too, and warns about trust-root failures. It still stops at the first attestation that verifies, so it only reports failures from bundles tried before that one. Previously it dropped them silently.
Whether an install succeeds is unchanged: one verified attestation still passes. Only attestations that failed for a trust-root fetch reach
warn. A tampered or mismatched bundle stays at debug, since a bad bundle next to a good one is not something the user can act on. The log text never includes the underlying error string, which can contain mirror URLs or credentials.Validation
cargo test -p mise-sigstore --libpasses. New tests check that an unreachable TUF repository produces aTrustRooterror with the new summary, that the GitHub retry keeps that category (and keeps other failures as verification errors), and that the warning fires once and only when something was skipped. Invalid-metadata failures share theTrustRootcategory but are not exercised by a test.cargo clippy -p mise-sigstore -p mise-util --all-targets -- -D warningsis clean.🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Note
Medium Risk
Changes attestation error classification and user-visible warnings during GitHub release verification; install pass/fail rules are unchanged but operators may see new WARN lines when TUF is blocked.
Overview
Trust-root fetch failures are now separate from signature verification failures, so users can tell when attestations were skipped because Sigstore/GitHub TUF metadata could not be loaded.
Adds
AttestationError::TrustRootand maps TUF load errors inproduction_trusted_root/github_tuf_trusted_root. Bundle and GitHub source verification count those failures, log per-attestation debug diagnostics (without the old “cached” wording), and emit oneWARNwhen verification still succeeds but some attestations were unchecked. The embedded→GitHub TUF retry path preservesTrustRootwhen the retry fails for that reason.Tests add a process-global
TUF_ROOT_LOCK, coverage for unreachable TUF URLs, retry error typing, and the aggregated warning behavior.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit f23b09c. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
