GHSA-7r96-8g3x-g36m
Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The `verifyWithMessage` method of `tEnvoyNaClSigningKey` always returns `true` for any signature of a SHA-512 hash matching the SHA-512 hash of the message even if the signature is invalid.
### Patches
Upgrade to `v7.0.3` immediately to resolve this issue. Since the vulnerability lies within the verification method, the previous signatures are still valid. We highly recommend reverifying any signatures that were previously verified with the vulnerable `verifyWithMessage` method.
### Workarounds
In `tenvoy.js` under the `verifyWithMessage` method definition within the `tEnvoyNaClSigningKey` class, ensure that the return statement call to `this.verify` ends in `.verified`. For example, the return statement should start with `return this.verify(signed, password).verified && ` instead of `return this.verify(signed, password) && `.
