This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu10

---------------
grub2 (2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu10) disco; urgency=medium

  * debian/grub-check-signatures: check kernel signatures against keys known
    in firmware, in case a kernel is signed but not using a key that will pass
    validation, such as when using kernels coming from a PPA. (LP: #1789918)

Title:
  grub2 signed kernel enforcement doesn't check on upgrade that
  signatures are from trusted keys

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mokutil package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is on a cosmic system. I wanted to test the 4.18 kernel in the kernel teams unstable ppa. I enabled that ppa, then ran "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and then rebooted. Upon boot grub started reporting that none of the kernels I have installed have valid signatures. These were working just fine before this update. The only remedy was to disable secure boot in my bios.
