CVE-2026-4601 Details
Description
Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Missing Cryptographic Step via the KJUR.crypto.DSA.signWithMessageHash process in the DSA signing implementation. An attacker can recover the private key by forcing r or s to be zero, so the library emits an invalid signature without retrying, and then solves for x from the resulting signature.
A vulnerability exists in the jsrsasign cryptographic library, specifically in versions prior to 11.1.1. The issue arises in the DSA signing implementation, where the signing process does not properly validate the signature components 'r' and 's'. This oversight allows an attacker to manipulate the signing process by forcing 'r' or 's' to be zero, resulting in an invalid signature. The library fails to retry the signing operation, as required by the FIPS 186-4 standard. Exploiting this vulnerability enables the recovery of the private key from the invalid signature.
Users are advised to upgrade jsrsasign to version 11.1.1 or higher, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
