GHSA-5jx8-q4cp-rhh6 · Severity: critical · Ecosystem: npm — jsrsasign: Incomplete Comparison Allows DSA Private Key Recovery via Biased Nonce Generation
Versions of the package jsrsasign from 7.0.0 and before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors via the getRandomBigIntegerZeroToMax and getRandomBigIntegerMinToMax functions in src/crypto-1.1.js; an attacker can recover the private key by exploiting the incorrect compareTo checks that accept out-of-range candidates and thus bias DSA nonces during signature generation.
Conclusion & alert: CVE-2026-4599 is rated Exploit Available (58.2/100): CVSS Critical severity, with low exploitation likelihood (EPSS 0.06%). Core evidence: 1 public exploit reference(s) are indexed (Exploit-DB). Mandatory action: Public exploits are available—assess exposure, apply mitigations, and prioritize patching.
Risk is dynamic; we continuously reassess and refresh what is shown on this page as upstream context changes.
