During the ongoing work on the TUF conformance test suite, we have come across a test that reveals what we believe is a bug in go-tuf with security implications. The bug exists in go-tuf delegation tracing and could result in downloading the wrong artifact.
We have come across this issue in the test in this PR: https://github.com/theupdateframework/tuf-conformance/pull/115.
The test - `test_graph_traversal` - sets up a repository with a series of delegations, invokes the clients `refresh()` and then checks the order in which the client traced the delegations. The test shows that the go-tuf client inconsistently traces the delegations in a wrong way. For example, [during one CI run](https://github.com/theupdateframework/tuf-conformance/pull/115#issuecomment-2275625542), the `two-level-delegations` test case triggered a wrong order. The delegations in this look as such:
```python "two-level-delegations": DelegationsTestCase( delegations=[ DelegationTester("targets", "A"), DelegationTester("targets", "B"), DelegationTester("B", "C"), ], visited_order=["A", "B", "C"], ), ```
Here, `targets` delegate to `"A"`, and to `"B"`, and `"B"` delegates to `"C"`. The client should trace the delegations in the order `"A"` then `"B"` then `"C"` but in this particular CI run, go-tuf traced the delegations `"B"->"C"->"A"`.
In a subsequent CI run, this test case did not fail, but [another one did](https://github.com/theupdateframework/tuf-conformance/pull/115#issuecomment-2275640487).
@jku has done a bit of debugging and believes that the returned map of `GetRolesForTarget` returns a map that causes this behavior:
https://github.com/theupdateframework/go-tuf/blob/f95222bdd22d2ac4e5b8ed6fe912b645e213c3b5/metadata/metadata.go#L565-L580
We believe that this map should be an ordered list instead of a map.
