CVE-2020-13822

nodejs-elliptic: improper encoding checks allows a certain degree of signature malleability in ECDSA signatures

Published Jun 4, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 7.7 High EPSS 2.7% KEV · Not listed
Description
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.
