In affected versions OpenPGP Cleartext Signed Messages are cryptographically signed messages where the signed text is readable without special tools. These messages typically contain a \"Hash: ...\" header declaring the hash algorithm used to compute the signature digest. OpenPGP.js up to v5.9.0 ignored any data preceding the \"Hash: ...\" texts when verifying the signature. As a result, malicious parties could add arbitrary text to a third-party Cleartext Signed Message, to lead the victim to believe that the arbitrary text was signed. A user or application is vulnerable to said attack vector if it verifies the CleartextMessage by only checking the returned `verified` property, discarding the associated `data` information, and instead _visually trusting_ the contents of the original message. Since `verificationResult.data` would always contain the actual signed data, users and apps that check this information are not vulnerable. Similarly, given a CleartextMessage object, retrieving the data using `getText()` or the `text` field returns only the contents that are considered when verifying the signature. Finally, re-armoring a CleartextMessage object (using `armor()` will also result in a \"sanitised\" version, with the extraneous text being removed. This issue has been addressed in version 5.10.1 (current stable version) which will reject messages when calling `openpgp.readCleartextMessage()` and in version 4.10.11 (legacy version) which will will reject messages when calling `openpgp.cleartext.readArmored()`. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should check the contents of `verificationResult.data` to see what data was actually signed, rather than visually trusting the contents of the armored message." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-347: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature", "cweId": "CWE-347" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "openpgpjs", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "openpgpjs", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": "< 4.10.11" }, { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": ">= 5.0.0, < 5.10.1" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/security/advisories/GHSA-ch3c-v47x-4pgp", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/security/advisories/GHSA-ch3c-v47x-4pgp" }, { "url": "https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/commit/6b43e02a254853f5ff508ebd1b07541f78b7c566", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/commit/6b43e02a254853f5ff508ebd1b07541f78b7c566" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-ch3c-v47x-4pgp", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" }, "impact": { "cvss": [ { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 4.3, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N", "version": "3.1" } ] } }
