Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2026-07-30 14:32:24 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

The Verify() method for FIDO/U2F security key types (sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, sk-ssh-ed25519) did not check the User Presence flag. Signatures generated without physical touch were accepted, allowing unattended use of a hardware security key. To restore the previous behavior, return a "no-touch-required" extension in Permissions.Extensions from PublicKeyCallback.
