  "title": "Improper PKCS#12 iteration validation in node-forge",
  "summary": "node-forge before 1.4.1 improperly accepts nonpositive iteration counts in PKCS#12 password-based processing. An attacker who can provide a crafted PKCS#12/PFX or affected encrypted private-key file may cause altered content to be accepted despite not knowing the password; applications are exposed when they import untrusted files and rely on password-based verification or decryption.",
  "mitigation": "Upgrade node-forge to version 1.4.1 or later. Until upgraded, reject PKCS#12 inputs with iteration counts below 1 before processing them, including applicable PKCS#12 encryption parameters.",
