HighCVSS: 8.7Last Updated: March 23, 2026
jsrsasign - Weak Cryptography
Overview
jsrsasign < 11.1.1 contains a missing cryptographic step caused by improper handling of zero values in DSA signing implementation, letting attackers recover private keys by forcing r or s to zero, exploit requires crafted signature inputs.
Severity & Score
Impact
Attackers can recover private keys, compromising cryptographic security and enabling signature forgery.
Mitigation
Update to version 11.1.1 or later.
