Vulnerability from github – Published: 2018-07-20 21:10 – Updated: 2023-09-06 23:38

Summary

Invalid Curve Attack in node-jose

Details

Affected versions of node-jose are vulnerable to an invalid curve attack. This allows an attacker to recover the private secret key when JWE with Key Agreement with Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Static (ECDH-ES) is used.

Proof of Concept

Recommendation

Update to version 0.9.3 or later.

Severity

5.9 (Medium)
