  "title": "Resource exhaustion in node-forge ASN.1 BIT STRING parsing",
  "summary": "node-forge versions before 1.4.1 can consume excessive CPU and memory while parsing crafted DER or PEM input through ASN.1-related APIs. An unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service if they can provide data that the application parses as a certificate, key, PKCS structure, or other ASN.1 input.",
  "mitigation": "Upgrade node-forge to version 1.4.1. For applications that call `forge.asn1.fromDer()` directly and do not require decoded BIT STRING contents, set `decodeBitStrings` to `false` to reduce exposure until upgrading.",
