## Overview

### Impact

Users of Kyverno on versions 1.8.3 or 1.8.4 who use `verifyImages` rules to verify container image signatures, and do not prevent use of unknown registries.

### Patches

This issue has been fixed in version [1.8.5](https://github.com/kyverno/kyverno/releases/tag/v1.8.5)

### Workarounds

Configure a Kyverno policy to restrict registries to a set of secure trusted image registries ([sample](https://kyverno.io/policies/best-practices/restrict_image_registries/restrict_image_registries/)).
