PYSEC-2020-163

Quick fix

PYSEC-2020-163 — ecdsa: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'ecdsa>=0.13.3'

Details

A flaw was found in all python-ecdsa versions before 0.13.3, where it did not correctly verify whether signatures used DER encoding. Without this verification, a malformed signature could be accepted, making the signature malleable. Without proper verification, an attacker could use a malleable signature to create false transactions.
