Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper verification of cryptographic signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-65945)
CWE-ID: CWE-347 - Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization checks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper signature verification under specific conditions when using the HS256 algorithm within the jws.createVerify() function. A remote attacker can manipulate header or payload in the HMAC secret lookup routines and bypass authorization checks.
2) Interpretation conflict (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-12816)
CWE-ID: CWE-436 - Interpretation Conflict
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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.
3) Uncontrolled recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0994)
CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion in within the google.protobuf.json_format.ParseDict(). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
4) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-50181)
CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the Redirect object when handling redirects and retries. A remote attacker can force the library to follow redirects even if explicitly disabled with PoolManager.
5) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-66418)
CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to missing limits on the number of links in the decompression chain when handling gzip or zstd data in the server response. A malicious server can send a response with a large amount of links and cause high CPU load, leading to a denial of service condition.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-66471)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the streaming API does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-64718)
CWE-ID: CWE-1321 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes (\'Prototype Pollution\')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform prototype pollution attacks.
8) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-66030)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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.
9) Uncontrolled recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-66031)
CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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.
10) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16487)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the merge, mergeWith, and defaultsDeep functions. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and add or modify properties of Object.prototype.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the affected application.
11) Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-65106)
CWE-ID: CWE-1336 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to template injection vulnerability in LangChain's prompt template system. A remote attacker can access Python object internals through template syntax.
