How to fix?

Upgrade org.webjars.npm:node-forge to version 1.3.1 or higher.

Overview

org.webjars.npm:node-forge is a WebJar for node-forge.

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.
