description

node-forge before 1.4.1 may accept malformed DigestInfo encodings when verifying default RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 signatures, including X.509 and PKCS#7 signatures. An attacker may forge a signature that is accepted as valid when the application verifies it with an RSA public key using exponent 3.

mitigation

Upgrade node-forge to 1.4.1. Until upgraded, do not use RSA public keys with exponent 3 for affected signature-verification paths.

fixed in 1.4.1
