Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
