+  "details": "### Summary\nThe expected `protocDigest` is ignored when protoc is taken from the `PATH`.\n\n### Details\nThe documentation for the `protocDigest` parameter says:\n> ... Users may wish to specify this if using a `PATH`-based binary ...\n\nHowever, when specifying `<protoc>PATH</protoc>` the `protocDigest` is not actually checked because the code returns here already\nhttps://github.com/ascopes/protobuf-maven-plugin/blob/59097aae8062c461129a13dcda2f4116b90a8765/protobuf-maven-plugin/src/main/java/io/github/ascopes/protobufmavenplugin/protoc/ProtocResolver.java#L91-L93\n\nbefore the digest check:\nhttps://github.com/ascopes/protobuf-maven-plugin/blob/59097aae8062c461129a13dcda2f4116b90a8765/protobuf-maven-plugin/src/main/java/io/github/ascopes/protobufmavenplugin/protoc/ProtocResolver.java#L106\n\n### PoC\nSpecify:\n```xml\n<protoc>PATH</protoc>\n<protocDigest>sha256:0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000</protocDigest>\n```\n\nAnd notice how the `protoc` on the `PATH` is not rejected, despite a digest mismatch.\n\n### Impact\nUsers who have an untrusted `protoc` executable on their `PATH` and rely `<protocDigest>` as protection are affected.",
