I noticed that
cosign
was taking advantage of a bug in the mutate packagewhere the
Manifest()
returns a mutable copy of it's internal state, whichallowed them to permanently alter the result of
Manifest()
. This mutabilityviolates the philosophy of our abstractions, and should not be allowed, so
this change ensures that each of the methods returning state in the
mutate
package return a
.DeepCopy()
instead. Inimage
this included theconfigFile
, andmanifest
. Inindex
this included theindexManifest
.I have added tests that when the returned copies are mutated, a subsequent
invocation of the getter will return a pristine copy.
Since I'm not completely heartless, I am also adding a new
mutate.ConfigMediaType
method to enablecosign
to perform the alterationthey want, now that the trick they were using will no longer work.
