CVE-2026-40097 LOW PATCH GHSA Monitor

Step CA versions 0.24.0 through 0.30.0-rc2 suffer a denial-of-service vulnerability where an attacker can trigger an index out-of-bounds panic by sending a crafted TPM attestation key certificate with an empty Extended Key Usage extension during device-attest-01 ACME challenges. The vulnerability affects only deployments that have explicitly configured TPM device attestation; organizations using Step CA for standard certificate management are unaffected. While the CVSS score is low (3.7), the attack is unauthenticated and remotely triggerable, potentially causing service disruption in vulnerable configurations.
