Missing Authorization
CVE-2026-39833
Summary
The in-memory keyring returned by "NewKeyring()" silently accepted keys with the ConfirmBeforeUse constraint but never enforced it. The key would sign without any confirmation prompt, with no indication to the caller that the constraint was not in effect. "NewKeyring()" now returns an error when unsupported constraints are requested. This affects versions prior to 0.52.0.
