Advisories for Npm/@Chainsafe/Libp2p-Noise package

2022

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

@chainsafe/libp2p-noise contains TypeScript implementation of noise protocol, an encryption protocol used in libp2p. @chainsafe/libp2p-noise before 4.1.2 and 5.0.3 does not correctly validate signatures during the handshake process. This may allow a man-in-the-middle to pose as other peers and get those peers banned. Users should upgrade to version 4.1.2 or 5.0.3 to receive a patch. There are currently no known workarounds.
