FKIE_CVE-2024-42459

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-08-02 07:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:49
Severity
5.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Summary
In the Elliptic package 6.5.6 for Node.js, EDDSA signature malleability occurs because there is a missing signature length check, and thus zero-valued bytes can be removed or appended.
