Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/browserify-sign/-/browserify-sign-4.0.4.tgz

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /node_modules/browserify-sign/package.json

Dependency Hierarchy: - crypto-browserify-3.12.0.tgz (Root Library) - :x: **browserify-sign-4.0.4.tgz** (Vulnerable Library)

Found in HEAD commit: 12c2455088329534a8c99aac9ba0789fc50d7606

Found in base branch: master

### Vulnerability Details

browserify-sign is a package to duplicate the functionality of node's crypto public key functions, much of this is based on Fedor Indutny's work on indutny/tls.js. An upper bound check issue in `dsaVerify` function allows an attacker to construct signatures that can be successfully verified by any public key, thus leading to a signature forgery attack. All places in this project that involve DSA verification of user-input signatures will be affected by this vulnerability. This issue has been patched in version 4.2.2.

Path to vulnerable library: /node_modules/elliptic/package.json

Dependency Hierarchy: - crypto-browserify-3.12.0.tgz (Root Library) - browserify-sign-4.0.4.tgz - :x: **elliptic-6.5.4.tgz** (Vulnerable Library)

Found in HEAD commit: 12c2455088329534a8c99aac9ba0789fc50d7606

Found in base branch: master

### Vulnerability Details

The Elliptic package 6.5.7 for Node.js, in its for ECDSA implementation, does not correctly verify valid signatures if the hash contains at least four leading 0 bytes and when the order of the elliptic curve's base point is smaller than the hash, because of an _truncateToN anomaly. This leads to valid signatures being rejected. Legitimate transactions or communications may be incorrectly flagged as invalid.
