CVE-2020-14966: Kjur Jsrsasign

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in the jsrsasign package through 8.0.18 for Node.js. It allows a malleability in ECDSA signatures by not checking overflows in the length of a sequence and '0' characters appended or prepended to an integer. The modified signatures are verified as valid. This could have a security-relevant impact if an application relied on a single canonical signature.

Affected products

  • Kjur Jsrsasign: up to and including 8.0.18
  • Netapp Max Data: affected versions not specified
