GHSA-4vqc-wpwg-vh7j: kas (CVE-2026-47192)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
kas	PyPI	>=4.8, <5.3	5.3

Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Kas versions 4.8 up to but not including 5.3 have a signature validation flaw: included configuration is processed before repository signatures are checked, so an attacker who controls a referenced repository may be able to replace the key used to verify a tag signature. Exploiting this requires several specific conditions, including a tag reference without a commit ID and a key stored in a repository without a pinned fingerprint. Upgrade kas to version 5.3 or later. As a workaround, pin the expected signature key by its fingerprint.
