GnuPG 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 does not enforce a configuration in which key certification requires an offline master Certify key, which results in apparently valid certifications that occurred only with access to a signing subkey.
Weaknesses in this category are related to errors in the management of cryptographic keys.
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/320.html →Open in CWE collection →The product does not implement a required step in a cryptographic algorithm, resulting in weaker encryption than advertised by the algorithm.
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/325.html →Open in CWE collection →Many languages use code signing facilities to vouch for code's identity and to thus tie code to its assigned privileges within an environment. Subverting this mechanism can be instrumental in an attacker escalating privilege. Any means of subverting the way that a virtual machine enforces code signing classifies for this style of attack.
