How to Fix CVE-2026-25793

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

github.com/slackhq/nebula fixed: 1.10.3 
Upgrade github.com/slackhq/nebula to 1.10.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

inspect dependencies for github.com/slackhq/nebula

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-25793, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/slackhq/nebula:

inspect dependencies for github.com/slackhq/nebula

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/slackhq/nebula in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.10.3), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-347: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature, where the product does not verify, or incorrectly verifies, the cryptographic signature for data. In Github.com/slackhq/nebula, 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 When using P256 certificates (which is not the default configuration), it is possible to evade a blocklist entry created against the fingerprint of a certificate by using ECDSA Signature Malleability to use a copy of the certificate with a different fingerprint. In order for this to affect a user or network, all of the following must be true: * `CURVE_P256` certificates are being used * There are one or more entries on the blocklist * The certificates for those entries are signed by a trusted CA and not expired * An attacker has a copy of the private key, and corresponding certificate, for one of those blocklist entries ### Patches See attached ### Workarounds If full copies of each certificate on the existing blocklist are available, it is possible to compute their opposite-chirality signature, and then the appropriate second fingerprint to list in the blocklist. Rotating out all CAs that have signed hosts on the blocklist will also prevent exploitation of this vulnerability.
