Inconsistency between implementation and documented design in Node.js - CVE-2023-30590

Vulnerability identifier: #VU77606

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30590

CWE-ID: CWE-1068

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to inconsistency between implementation and documented design within the generateKeys() API function. The documented behavior is different from the actual behavior, and this difference could lead to security issues in applications that use these APIs as the DiffieHellman may be used as the basis for application-level security.
