CVE-2024-48948 Information

Description

The Elliptic package 6.5.7 for Node.js in its for ECDSA implementation does not correctly verify valid signatures if the hash contains at least four leading 0 bytes and when the order of the elliptic curve’s base point is smaller than the hash because of an _truncateToN anomaly. This leads to valid signatures being rejected. Legitimate transactions or communications may be incorrectly flagged as invalid.
