GHSA-9vp8-3hmv-8fgh
### Impact Federation peer registration accepted peer key material during registration without a separate administrator approval step based on an out-of-band fingerprint check. Impacted deployments are nodes that accept federation peer registration across a network where initial registration could be intercepted or misdirected. ### Patches Patched in 0.9.0a2. Peer registration now uses a pending approval flow, and peer tokens are not accepted until an administrator approves the peer using the expected fingerprint. ### Workarounds Before upgrading, restrict peer registration endpoints to trusted administrative networks and verify peer public-key fingerprints out of band before allowing federation traffic. ### Upgrade Upgrade to the patched release: ```bash pip install --upgrade --pre stigmem-node ``` If developers install through the Stigmem meta-package instead, they should use the matching extra for deployments, for example: ```bash pip install --upgrade --pre 'stigmem[node]' ``` ### Resources - Release: https://github.com/eidetic-labs/stigmem/releases/tag/v0.9.0a2 - Changelog: https://github.com/eidetic-labs/stigmem/blob/v0.9.0a2/CHANGELOG.md#L14-L35 - Security policy and posture: https://github.com/eidetic-labs/stigmem/blob/v0.9.0a2/SECURITY.md
