jsrsasign: Incomplete Comparison Allows DSA Private Key Recovery via Biased Nonce Generation
Quick fix
GHSA-5jx8-q4cp-rhh6 — jsrsasign: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install jsrsasign@11.1.1 Details
Versions of the package jsrsasign from 7.0.0 and before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors via the getRandomBigIntegerZeroToMax and getRandomBigIntegerMinToMax functions in src/crypto-1.1.js; an attacker can recover the private key by exploiting the incorrect compareTo checks that accept out-of-range candidates and thus bias DSA nonces during signature generation.
