Description
cosign verify-attestation used with the --type flag will report a false positive verification when:
- There is at least one attestation with a valid signature
- There are NO attestations of the type being verified (--type defaults to "custom")
This can happen when signing with a standard keypair and with "keyless" signing with Fulcio. Users should upgrade to cosign version 1.10.1 or greater for a patch. Currently the only workaround is to upgrade.
