How to fix?

Upgrade frost-p256 to version 2.2.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management through the frost_core::keys::refresh function when the min_signers parameter is set to a smaller value than originally configured. An attacker can reduce the security of group shares by performing a refresh operation with a lower threshold, potentially weakening the cryptographic guarantees of the group.

Note: This is only exploitable if the refresh share functionality is used with a smaller min_signers value than the original threshold.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding the use of the refresh share functionality with a smaller min_signers parameter.
