SB2025120419 - Multiple vulnerabilities in node-forge

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-66030)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack. 

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the asn1.derToOid() function in forge/lib/asn1.js when parsing ASN.1 structures containing OIDs with oversized arcs. A remote attacker can construct a specially crafted ASN.1 object to spoof an OID and bypass downstream OID-based security decisions.

2) Uncontrolled recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-66031)

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

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion within the asn1.fromDer() function in forge/lib/asn1.js. A remote non-authenticated attacker can pass specially crafted deep ASN.1 structures to trigger unbounded recursive parsing and perform a denial of service attack.

3) Interpretation conflict (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-12816)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass downstream cryptographic verification and security decisions.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect validation of ASN.1 structures within the asn1.validate() function in forge/lib/asn1.js. A remote non-authenticated attacker can use specially crafted ASN.1 structures to desynchronize DER schema validations and bypass downstream cryptographic verification and security decisions.
