UNKNOWNCVE-2026-33895

Forge has signature forgery in Ed25519 due to missing S > L check

Platform

nodejs

Component

forge

Fixed in

1.4.0

Forge (also called `node-forge`) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. Prior to version 1.4.0, Ed25519 signature verification accepts forged non-canonical signatures where the scalar S is not reduced modulo the group order (`S >= L`). A valid signature and its `S + L` variant both verify in forge, while Node.js `crypto.verify` (OpenSSL-backed) rejects the `S + L` variant, as defined by the specification. This class of signature malleability has been exploited in practice to bypass authentication and authorization logic (see CVE-2026-25793, CVE-2022-35961). Applications relying on signature uniqueness (i.e., dedup by signature bytes, replay tracking, signed-object canonicalization checks) may be bypassed. Version 1.4.0 patches the issue.

How to fix

Actualice la biblioteca Forge a la versión 1.4.0 o superior. Esto corrige la vulnerabilidad de falsificación de firmas Ed25519 al agregar la verificación faltante S > L.
