The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect error handling in async cryptographic operations within the SignTraits::DeriveBits() function. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input to the application can crash the Node.js runtime.


2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23167)

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:P/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in ReadFileUtf8 caused by a corrupted pointer. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


4) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49582)

CWE-ID: CWE-276 - Incorrect Default Permissions

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
