GHSA-CFM4-QJH2-4765

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-03-18 23:09 – Updated: 2022-03-18 23:09
VLAI?
Summary
Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature in node-forge
Details

Impact

RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code is lenient in checking the digest algorithm structure. This can allow a crafted structure that steals padding bytes and uses unchecked portion of the PKCS#1 encoded message to forge a signature when a low public exponent is being used.

Patches

The issue has been addressed in node-forge 1.3.0.
