How to Fix CVE-2024-21484

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jsrsasign dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

jsrsasign fixed: 11.0.0 
npm install jsrsasign@11.0.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls jsrsasign

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-21484, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls jsrsasign

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jsrsasign in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 11.0.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls jsrsasign command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-203: Observable Discrepancy, where the product behaves differently or sends different responses under different circumstances in a way that is observable to an unauthorized actor. In Jsrsasign, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact RSA PKCS#1.5 or RSAOAEP ciphertexts may be decrypted by this Marvin attack vulnerability. ### Patches update to jsrsasign 11.0.0. ### Workarounds Find and replace RSA and RSAOAEP decryption with other crypto library. ### References https://people.redhat.com/~hkario/marvin/ https://github.com/kjur/jsrsasign/issues/598 https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JAVA-ORGWEBJARSNPM-6070732 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-21484
