jsrsasign: Incomplete Comparison Allows DSA Private Key Recovery via Biased Nonce Generation
Versions of the package jsrsasign from 7.0.0 and before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors via the getRandomBigIntegerZeroToMax and getRandomBigIntegerMinToMax functions in src/crypto-1.1.js; an attacker can recover the private key by exploiting the incorrect compareTo checks that accept out-of-range candidates and thus bias DSA nonces during signature generation.
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability none.
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
