GHSA-xxxq-chmp-67g4

RSA PKCS#1 decryption vulnerability with prepending zeros in jsrsasign

Quick fix

GHSA-xxxq-chmp-67g4 — jsrsasign: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install jsrsasign@8.0.18

Details

### Impact Jsrsasign supports RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 (i.e. RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5) and RSA-OAEP encryption and decryption. Its encrypted message is represented as BigInteger. When there is a valid encrypted message, a crafted message with prepending zeros can be decrypted by this vulnerability.

- If you don't use RSA PKCS1-v1_5 or RSA-OAEP decryption, this vulnerability is not affected. - Risk to forge contents of encrypted message is very low. - Risk to raise memory corruption is low since jsrsasign uses BigInteger class.

### Patches Users using RSA PKCS1-v1_5 or RSA-OAEP decryption should upgrade to 8.0.18.

### Workarounds Reject RSA PKCS1-v1_5 or RSA-OAEP encrypted message with unnecessary prepending zeros.
