  "title": "PKCS#12 iteration validation flaw in node-forge",
  "summary": "node-forge before 1.4.1 improperly accepts PKCS#12 MAC and PKCS#12-PBE iteration counts below one. An attacker can cause password-independent verification or decryption of crafted key containers, potentially substituting certificates or private keys. Exploitation requires an application to process untrusted PKCS#12/PFX or affected encrypted private-key input and rely on password-based validation or decryption.",
  "mitigation": "Upgrade node-forge to version 1.4.1 or later. Until upgraded, reject PKCS#12 inputs with MAC or PKCS#12-PBE iteration counts below one before verification or decryption.",
