HighGHSA-8g7p-jf3g-gxcpCVE-2026-4598
jsrsasign is vulnerable to DoS through Infinite Loop when processing zero or negative inputs
Published 23 Mar 2026 · Updated 21 Jul 2026
Affected package
jsrsasignnpm
- Affected
- <11.1.1
- Fixed in
- 11.1.1
Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:
npm install jsrsasign@11.1.1Details
Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Infinite loop via the bnModInverse function in ext/jsbn2.js when the BigInteger.modInverse implementation receives zero or negative inputs, allowing an attacker to hang the process permanently by supplying such crafted values (e.g., modInverse(0, m) or modInverse(-1, m)).
Is GHSA-8g7p-jf3g-gxcp in any of your client repos?
Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected jsrsasign, and gives you the command that fixes it.
