Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16992)

CWE-ID: CWE-347 - Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The Keybase app 2.13.2 for iOS provides potentially insufficient notice that it is employing a user's private key to sign a certain cryptocurrency attestation (that an address at keybase.io can be used for Stellar payments to the user), which might be incompatible with a user's personal position on the semantics of an attestation.


Remediation
