CVE-2025-66031highpkg:npm/node-forge@1.3.1<1.3.21.3.28.7

Summary

An Uncontrolled Recursion (CWE-674) vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft deep ASN.1 structures that trigger unbounded recursive parsing. This leads to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) via stack exhaustion when parsing untrusted DER inputs.

Details

An ASN.1 Denial of Service (Dos) vulnerability exists in the node-forge asn1.fromDer function within forge/lib/asn1.js. The ASN.1 DER parser implementation (_fromDer) recurses for every constructed ASN.1 value (SEQUENCE, SET, etc.) and lacks a guard limiting recursion depth. An attacker can craft a small DER blob containing a very large nesting depth of constructed TLVs which causes the Node.js V8 engine to exhaust its call stack and throw RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded, crashing or incapacitating the process handling the parse. This is a remote, low-cost Denial-of-Service against applications that parse untrusted ASN.1 objects.

Impact

This vulnerability enables an unauthenticated attacker to reliably crash a server or client using node-forge for TLS connections or certificate parsing.

This vulnerability impacts the ans1.fromDer function in node-forge before patched version 1.3.2.

Any downstream application using this component is impacted. These components may be leveraged by downstream applications in ways that enable full compromise of availability.

Relevance:

The CVE-2025-66031 is likely low relevance for normal Kibana 8.19.8 usage unless the deployment involves specific, uncommon configurations or exposed APIs. It might become critical if Kibana is directly exposed to untrusted networks without proper authentication or input validation. Most users with default settings and internal deployments are unlikely to be affected. (Note: Relevance analysis is automatically generated and may require verification.)

Severity Levels

Exploitation could lead to severe consequences, such as system compromise or data loss. Requires immediate attention.

Vulnerability could be exploited relatively easily and lead to significant impact. Requires prompt attention.

Exploitation is possible but might require specific conditions. Impact is moderate. Should be addressed in a timely manner.

Exploitation is difficult or impact is minimal. Address when convenient or as part of regular maintenance.

Severity is not determined, informational, or negligible. Review based on context.

About the CVE Scanner

What is a CVE?

CVE stands for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. It is a standardized identifier for known security vulnerabilities, allowing developers and organizations to track and address potential risks effectively. For more information, visit cve.mitre.org.

About the CVE Scanner

The CVE Scanner is a powerful tool that helps you identify known vulnerabilities in your Docker images. By scanning your images against a comprehensive database of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), you can ensure that your applications are secure and up-to-date. For more details, checkout the NIST CVE Database.

How the CVE Scanner Works

The CVE Scanner analyzes your Docker images against a comprehensive database of known vulnerabilities. It uses Docker Scout under the hood to provide detailed insights into affected packages, severity levels, and available fixes, empowering you to take immediate action.

Why CVE Scanning is Essential for Your Docker Images

With the rise of supply chain attacks, ensuring the security of your applications has become more critical than ever. CVE scanning plays a vital role in identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers, especially those introduced through dependencies and third-party components. Regularly scanning and securing your Docker images is essential to protect your applications from these evolving threats.

Benefits of CVE Scanning

  • Enhanced Security: Detect and mitigate vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
  • Compliance: Meet industry standards and regulatory requirements for secure software.
  • Proactive Maintenance: Stay ahead of potential threats by addressing vulnerabilities early.

The Importance of Patching Docker Images

Patching your Docker images is a critical step in maintaining the security and stability of your applications. By regularly updating your images to include the latest security patches, you can address known vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of exploitation. This proactive approach ensures that your applications remain resilient against emerging threats and helps maintain compliance with security best practices.
