Summary
### Impact A single configuration flag could disable plugin signature enforcement. If an operator unintentionally carried that setting into an environment where plugin paths are writable by less-trusted users, unsigned plugin code could be loaded. ### Patches Patched in 0.9.0a2. Disabling plugin signature enforcement now requires a second explicit acknowledgment value. ### Workarounds Before upgrading, keep plugin signing required in all shared or production environments and ensure plugin directories are not writable by untrusted users. ### 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
