CVE-2026-4600
Description
A flaw was found in jsrsasign. An attacker can exploit improper verification of cryptographic signatures by supplying malicious domain parameters during the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) validation process. This allows the attacker to forge DSA signatures or X.509 certificates, which would then be accepted as legitimate, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data manipulation.
Statement
IMPORTANT. The flaw in jsrsasign allows an attacker to forge Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) signatures or X.509 certificates by providing malicious domain parameters during validation. This could lead to unauthorized access or data manipulation in affected Red Hat products such as Migration Toolkit for Virtualization and Red Hat Quay, where jsrsasign is utilized for cryptographic signature verification.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
