Vulnerability in Digitalbazaar (CVE-2026-33894)

Summary

Vulnerability in Digitalbazaar (CVE-2026-33894). Data can be tampered with by attackers.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

RSASSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification accepts forged signatures for low public exponent keys (e=3). Attackers can forge signatures by stuffing “garbage” bytes within the ASN structure in order to construct a signature that passes verification, enabling Bleichenbacher style forgery. This issue is similar to CVE-2022-24771, but adds bytes in an addition field within the ASN structure, rather than outside of it.

Additionally, forge does not validate that signatures include a minimum of 8 bytes of padding as defined by the specification, providing attackers additional space to construct Bleichenbacher forgeries.

Impacted Deployments

Tested commit: 8e1d527fe8ec2670499068db783172d4fb9012e5
Affected versions: tested on v1.3.3 (latest release) and recent prior versions.

Configuration assumptions:

  • Invoke key.verify with defaults (default scheme uses RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5).
  • _parseAllDigestBytes: true (default setting).

Root Cause

In lib/rsa.js, key.verify(...), forge decrypts the signature block, decodes PKCS#1 v1.5 padding (_decodePkcs1_v1_5), parses ASN.1, and compares capture.digest to the provided digest.

Two issues are present with this logic:

  1. Strict DER byte-consumption (_parseAllDigestBytes) only guarant…

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify 
    grep -r 'Digitalbazaar' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Digitalbazaar を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Post-deployment verification verify 
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
