Summary
_validate_tpm_cert()infido2/attestation/tpm.pyis intended to enforcethe WebAuthn spec requirement that TPM attestation certificates have an empty
Subject field (§8.3 "tpm-cert-requirements").
However, the current code passes
x509.NameOID(a class) tocert.subject.get_attributes_for_oid(), which expects an OID instance.This always returns
[], so the check never rejects any certificate.Bug
x509.NameOIDiscryptography.x509.oid.NameOID, a class containing OIDconstants like
NameOID.COMMON_NAME. Passing the class itself toget_attributes_for_oid()never matches any attribute, so the functionsilently returns an empty list.
