CVE-2022-24772
March 18, 2022
Forge (also called "node-forge") is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. Prior to version 1.3.0, RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code does not check for tailing garbage bytes after decoding a "DigestInfo" ASN.1 structure. This can allow padding bytes to be removed and garbage data added to forge a signature when a low public exponent is being used. The issue has been addressed in "node-forge" version 1.3.0. There are currently no known workarounds.
