Covert Timing Channel in Node.js - CVE-2023-46809

Vulnerability identifier: #VU86724

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46809

CWE-ID: CWE-385

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Marvin attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a covert timing channel in the privateDecrypt() API of the crypto library. A remote attacker can perform a covert timing side-channel during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding error handling and decrypt captured RSA ciphertexts or forge signatures, especially in scenarios involving API endpoints processing Json Web Encryption messages.
