Summary

The jsrsasign library before version 11.1.1 is vulnerable to a missing cryptographic step in the DSA signing implementation. An attacker can recover the private key by forcing r or s to be zero, causing an invalid signature without retrying.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential full compromise of the DSA private key, allowing signature forgery and data integrity breaches in systems using this library.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade jsrsasign to version 11.1.1 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Missing Cryptographic Step via the KJUR.crypto.DSA.signWithMessageHash process in the DSA signing implementation. An attacker can recover the private key by forcing r or s to be zero, so the library emits an invalid signature without retrying, and then solves for x from the resulting signature.
