The Rekor UUID for this release is 108e9186e8c5677a692b1410db6e04e5e4a25aec2e361118647fe42c5ad8d7ef3e087b5cd11463d6

Obtain the attestation:

REKOR_UUID=108e9186e8c5677a692b1410db6e04e5e4a25aec2e361118647fe42c5ad8d7ef3e087b5cd11463d6
rekor-cli get --uuid $REKOR_UUID --format json | jq -r .Attestation | jq .

Verify that all container images in the attestation are in the release file:

RELEASE_FILE=https://infra.tekton.dev/tekton-releases/pipeline/previous/v1.9.0/release.yaml
REKOR_UUID=108e9186e8c5677a692b1410db6e04e5e4a25aec2e361118647fe42c5ad8d7ef3e087b5cd11463d6

# Obtains the list of images with sha from the attestation
REKOR_ATTESTATION_IMAGES=$(rekor-cli get --uuid "$REKOR_UUID" --format json | jq -r .Attestation | jq -r '.subject[]|.name + ":v1.9.0@sha256:" + .digest.sha256')

# Download the release file
curl -L "$RELEASE_FILE" > release.yaml

# For each image in the attestation, match it to the release file
for image in $REKOR_ATTESTATION_IMAGES; do
  printf $image; grep -q $image release.yaml && echo " ===> ok" || echo " ===> no match";
done
