  "title": "Certificate constraints validation bypass in node-forge",
  "summary": "node-forge versions before 1.4.1 may misinterpret obsolete X.509 extension identifiers when validating certificate chains. An attacker with a suitably issued certificate from an application-trusted CA that preserves supplied extensions may have that certificate accepted as a CA and use it to issue certificates for arbitrary identities.",
  "mitigation": "Upgrade the npm node-forge package to version 1.4.1 or later. Until then, reject non-leaf certificates unless the standard basicConstraints extension (OID 2.5.29.19) explicitly marks them as CA certificates.",
