node forge

About this tag
Node Forge is a popular JavaScript cryptography library used for SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates, and ASN.1 parsing. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight three critical vulnerabilities patched in version 1.3.2: CVE-2025-12816, an ASN.1 validation bypass that desynchronizes the library's validator and lets attackers bypass cryptographic checks; CVE-2025-66031, a denial-of-service flaw exploiting unbounded ASN.1 recursion to crash Node.js processes; and CVE-2025-66030, an OID parsing issue where integer truncation allows OID spoofing. These threads cover patch details, supply-chain risks, and remediation steps for developers and IT teams using Node Forge in their applications.

  1. CVE-2025-12816: Node Forge ASN.1 Validation Bypass and Patch

    A critical interpretation‑conflict flaw in the widely used JavaScript cryptography library node‑forge lets attackers craft malicious ASN.1 objects that desynchronize the library’s ASN.1 validator and bypass downstream cryptographic checks — a vulnerability tracked as CVE‑2025‑12816 that has been...

  3. CVE-2025-66030 Node-forge OID Parsing Fix in 1.3.2

    A recently disclosed vulnerability in the widely used JavaScript cryptography library node-forge—tracked as CVE-2025-66030—allows specially crafted ASN.1 Object Identifier (OID) values to be mis-parsed due to integer truncation, letting an attacker spoof OIDs and potentially bypass downstream...
