# ATTESTATION_BAD_PAYLOAD

**Attestation envelope malformed**

## What happened

The attestation JSON couldn't be parsed or is missing required fields (typically `payload`, `signature`, `signer`).

## How to fix

Inspect the raw envelope and confirm it matches the expected shape. If it came from a provider, the provider may be running an outdated TEE image — update or pick another provider.

## Example

```ts
try {
  parseEnvelope(rawJson);
} catch (e) {
  // bad payload
}
```
