Biased DSA nonce generation in jsrsasign

IdentifiersCVE-2026-4599CWE-1023· Incomplete Comparison with Missing…

CVE-2026-4599 affects jsrsasign versions 7.0.0 through before 11.1.1. The vulnerability is caused by incorrect compareTo validation in the getRandomBigIntegerZeroToMax and getRandomBigIntegerMinToMax functions in src/crypto-1.1.js. Due to incomplete comparison logic, these functions can accept out-of-range random candidates, which biases the nonce values used during DSA signature generation. Because DSA security depends on uniformly random per-signature nonces, this bias can be exploited to recover the DSA private key.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can lead to recovery of the DSA private key used for signing. This results in a complete compromise of the affected signing identity, allowing an attacker to forge valid DSA signatures and undermine the confidentiality and integrity of systems or data that rely on those signatures. The available scoring information indicates high confidentiality impact and high integrity impact, with no direct availability impact.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate upgrade is not possible, avoid using affected jsrsasign versions for DSA signature generation. Rotate any DSA private keys that may have been exposed through use of the vulnerable code, especially if signatures were generated in untrusted or observable environments. Where feasible, disable DSA-based signing workflows until the library is updated, and monitor for unauthorized signatures produced with potentially compromised keys.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade jsrsasign to version 11.1.1 or later, which includes a fix for the flawed comparison logic in the affected random BigInteger range-generation functions. Review the referenced upstream fix/commit and ensure all deployments, bundled copies, and transitive dependencies are updated to a non-vulnerable version.
