CVE-2023-25653: Improper calculations in ECC implementation can trigger a Denial-of-Service (DoS)
(updated )
node-jose is a JavaScript implementation of the JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) for web browsers and node.js-based servers. Prior to version 2.2.0, when using the non-default “fallback” crypto back-end, ECC operations in node-jose
can trigger a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition, due to a possible infinite loop in an internal calculation. For some ECC operations, this condition is triggered randomly; for others, it can be triggered by malicious input. The issue has been patched in version 2.2.0. Since this issue is only present in the “fallback” crypto implementation, it can be avoided by ensuring that either WebCrypto or the Node crypto
module is available in the JS environment where node-jose
is being run.
