‼️ BREAKING: New research shows you can copy any signed GitHub commit into a second one that looks identical, without the author's secret key, creating a distinct commit with an identical tree, identical metadata, a valid signature, and a "Verified" badge from GitHub.
On GitHub, a green "Verified" badge is supposed to mean two things: a trusted author signed it, and its ID is a one-of-a-kind fingerprint for that exact code. A new Carnegie Mellon preprint from Jacob Ginesin says the second promise, the unique fingerprint, does not hold.
Why it matters: security teams and package systems (behind tools like Go, Nix, and GitHub Actions) trust that ID as a unique handle for code. Block or pin the "bad" version, and an attacker can re-issue the same signed code under a fresh, still-verified ID that slips past. The author says Git and GitHub have not fixed it.

I've posted my @ThatConference slides on How Downloads Work.
I started out worried that I couldn't fill an hour but finished talking at warp speed to finish on time.
I'll try to upload the audio in the next few days.
