Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

node-forge is a JavaScript implementations of network transports, cryptography, ciphers, PKI, message digests, and various utilities.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature due to RSA's PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code which does not properly check DigestInfo for a proper ASN.1 structure. This can lead to successful verification with signatures that contain invalid structures but a valid digest.

How to fix Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature?

Upgrade node-forge to version 1.3.0 or higher.

<1.3.0

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

node-forge is a JavaScript implementations of network transports, cryptography, ciphers, PKI, message digests, and various utilities.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature due to RSAs PKCS#1` v1.5 signature verification code which is lenient in checking the digest algorithm structure. This can allow a crafted structure that steals padding bytes and uses unchecked portion of the PKCS#1 encoded message to forge a signature when a low public exponent is being used.

How to fix Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature?

Upgrade node-forge to version 1.3.0 or higher.

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

node-forge is a JavaScript implementations of network transports, cryptography, ciphers, PKI, message digests, and various utilities.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature due to RSA's PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code which does not check for tailing garbage bytes after decoding a DigestInfo ASN.1 structure. This can allow padding bytes to be removed and garbage data added to forge a signature when a low public exponent is being used.

How to fix Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature?

Upgrade node-forge to version 1.3.0 or higher.

Prototype Pollution

node-forge is a JavaScript implementations of network transports, cryptography, ciphers, PKI, message digests, and various utilities.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the forge.debug API if called with untrusted input.

How to fix Prototype Pollution?

Upgrade node-forge to version 1.0.0 or higher.

<1.0.0

Open Redirect

node-forge is a JavaScript implementations of network transports, cryptography, ciphers, PKI, message digests, and various utilities.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect via parseUrl function when it mishandles certain uses of backslash such as https:/\/\/\ and interprets the URI as a relative path.

PoC:


// poc.js
var forge = require("node-forge");
var url = forge.util.parseUrl("https:/\/\/\www.github.com/foo/bar");
console.log(url);

// Output of node poc.js:

{
  full: 'https://',
  scheme: 'https',
  host: '',
  port: 443,
  path: '/www.github.com/foo/bar',                        <<<---- path  should be "/foo/bar"
  fullHost: ''
}

How to fix Open Redirect?

Upgrade node-forge to version 1.0.0 or higher.

<1.0.0

Prototype Pollution

node-forge is a JavaScript implementations of network transports, cryptography, ciphers, PKI, message digests, and various utilities.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the util.setPath function.

Note: version 0.10.0 is a breaking change removing the vulnerable functions.

POC:

const nodeforge = require('node-forge');
var obj = {};
nodeforge.util.setPath(obj, ['__proto__', 'polluted'], true);
console.log(polluted);

How to fix Prototype Pollution?

Upgrade node-forge to version 0.10.0 or higher.

<0.10.0

Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)

node-forge is a native implementation of TLS (and various other cryptographic tools) in JavaScript.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks. This can cause an impact of about 10 seconds matching time for data 3K characters long.

How to fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)?

Update node-forge to version 0.7.4 or higher.

<0.7.4
