Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Division by zero due to the RSASetPublic/KEYUTIL parsing path in ext/rsa.js and the BigInteger.modPowInt reduction logic in ext/jsbn.js. An attacker can force RSA public-key operations (e.g., verify and encryption) to collapse to deterministic zero outputs and hide “invalid key” errors by supplying a JWK whose modulus decodes to zero.
Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Missing Cryptographic Step via the KJUR.crypto.DSA.signWithMessageHash process in the DSA signing implementation. An attacker can recover the private key by forcing r or s to be zero, so the library emits an invalid signature without retrying, and then solves for x from the resulting signature.
Versions of the package jsrsasign from 7.0.0 and before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors via the getRandomBigIntegerZeroToMax and getRandomBigIntegerMinToMax functions in src/crypto-1.1.js; an attacker can recover the private key by exploiting the incorrect compareTo checks that accept out-of-range candidates and thus bias DSA nonces during signature generation.
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)).
Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types due to handling negative exponents in ext/jsbn2.js. An attacker can force the computation of incorrect modular inverses and break signature verification by calling modPow with a negative exponent.
Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature via the DSA domain-parameter validation in KJUR.crypto.DSA.setPublic (and the related DSA/X509 verification flow in src/dsa-2.0.js). An attacker can forge DSA signatures or X.509 certificates that X509.verifySignature() accepts by supplying malicious domain parameters such as g=1, y=1, and a fixed r=1, which make the verification equation true for any hash.
Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.0.0 are vulnerable to Observable Discrepancy via the RSA PKCS1.5 or RSAOAEP decryption process. An attacker can decrypt ciphertexts by exploiting the Marvin security flaw. Exploiting this vulnerability requires the attacker to have access to a large number of ciphertexts encrypted with the same key.
Workaround
The vulnerability can be mitigated by finding and replacing RSA and RSAOAEP decryption with another crypto library.
The package jsrsasign before 10.5.25 are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature when JWS or JWT signature with non Base64URL encoding special characters or number escaped characters may be validated as valid by mistake. Workaround: Validate JWS or JWT signature if it has Base64URL and dot safe string before executing JWS.verify() or JWS.verifyJWT() method.
Signatures are mistakenly recognized to be valid in jsrsasign
In the jsrsasign package through 10.1.13 for Node.js, some invalid RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures are mistakenly recognized to be valid. NOTE: there is no known practical attack.

ECDSA signature vulnerability of Minerva timing attack in jsrsasign
### Impact
ECDSA side-channel attack named [Minerava](https://minerva.crocs.fi.muni.cz/) have been found and it was found that it affects to jsrsasign.
Execution time of thousands signature generation have been observed then EC private key which is scalar value may be recovered since point and scalar multiplication time depends on bits of scalar. In jsrsasign 8.0.13 or later, execution time of EC point and scalar multiplication is almost constant and fixed for the issue.
- Minerva is one of timing attack or side channel attack for EC.
- If you don't use ECDSA class, you are not affected the vulnerability.
- The vulnerability is that attacke
An issue was discovered in the jsrsasign package through 8.0.18 for Node.js. It allows a malleability in ECDSA signatures by not checking overflows in the length of a sequence and '0' characters appended or prepended to an integer. The modified signatures are verified as valid. This could have a security-relevant impact if an application relied on a single canonical signature.
An issue was discovered in the jsrsasign package before 8.0.17 for Node.js. Its RSASSA-PSS (RSA-PSS) implementation does not detect signature manipulation/modification by prepending '\0' bytes to a signature (it accepts these modified signatures as valid). An attacker can abuse this behavior in an application by creating multiple valid signatures where only one signature should exist. Also, an attacker might prepend these bytes with the goal of triggering memory corruption issues.
