Apptainer is the container system for secure high-performance computing.
The Go module "sif" version 2.8.0 and older, which is a statically linked dependency of Apptainer, does not verify that the hash algorithm(s) used are cryptographically secure when verifying digital signatures.
An image whose verification relies on a cryptographically insecure hash algorithm could be replaced, resulting in users using an image other than the one that was expected.
There is no known workaround at this time.
