Summary

### Summary @sigstore/oci sends the registry Authorization header to a cross-host blob-upload Location ## Affected versions and vulnerable location - Confirmed on sigstore-js at `3a83271` (current HEAD). - File: `packages/oci/src/registry.ts`. - `signIn()` installs the credential as a DEFAULT header on the shared client: `this.#fetch = this.#fetch.defaults({ headers: { [HEADER_AUTHORIZATION]: 'Basic ' + basicAuth } })` (`:126-128`) or `... 'Bearer ' + token` (`:145-147`), plus `creds.headers` from the Docker config (`:104`). - `uploadBlob()` reads the `Location` response header (`:184`), builds `uploadLocation = new URL(location.startsWith('/') ? this.#baseURL + location : location)` (`:190-192`), and PUTs the blob to it through the same client: `await this.#fetch(uploadLocation.href, { method: 'PUT', body: blob, headers: { [HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE]: ... } })` (`:198`). - There is no check that `uploadLocation`'s host (or scheme) equals the registry host before the PUT is sent. ## Root cause Because `signIn()` sets `Authorization` via `.defaults()`, it is attached to every request the client issues, including requests to a host the client read out of a server response. When a POST to `.../blobs/uploads/` returns an absolute `Location` pointing to a different host, `uploadBlob()` PUTs the blob there with the registry `Authorization` header still attached. If the challenge scheme was `basic`, that header carries the raw registry `username:password`; if bearer, it carries the access token; `creds.headers` custom auth headers ride along too. The library's HTTP layer (`make-fetch-happen` / `minipass-fetch`) strips `Authorization` on cross-host redirects it follows internally, which protects the `HEAD ... { redirect: 'follow' }` at `:167`. It does not help here, because the PUT to the upload `Location` is a fresh, explicit `this.#fetch()` call, not a followed redirect, so the default header is applied unconditionally. This is a residual of GHSA-pf56-329r-95rw / CVE-2026-5989…
