Found in base branch: master

Vulnerability Details

The Elliptic package 6.5.2 for Node.js allows ECDSA signature malleability via variations in encoding, leading '\0' bytes, or integer overflows. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact if an application relied on a single canonical signature.

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /node_modules/elliptic/package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

• ❌ elliptic-6.4.1.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in HEAD commit: db86b1df738243752f2df78e8b4de14d0886d804

Found in base branch: master

Vulnerability Details

The package elliptic before 6.5.4 are vulnerable to Cryptographic Issues via the secp256k1 implementation in elliptic/ec/key.js. There is no check to confirm that the public key point passed into the derive function actually exists on the secp256k1 curve. This results in the potential for the private key used in this implementation to be revealed after a number of ECDH operations are performed.
