AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions node-forge versions prior to 1.3.0

Description The issue concerns the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code in node-forge, which does not properly check DigestInfo for a proper ASN.1 structure. This can lead to successful verification with signatures that contain invalid structures but a valid digest.

Recommendations For node-forge versions prior to 1.3.0, update to version 1.3.0 to address the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code until a patch is applied.
