This flaw stems from insufficient validation of DSA domain parameters within the KJUR.crypto.DSA.setPublic function and related DSA/X509 verification processes in src/dsa-2.0.js. The vulnerability allows an attacker to forge DSA signatures or X.509 certificates. By supplying malicious domain parameters (e.g., g=1, y=1, fixed r=1), an attacker can manipulate the verification equation to evaluate as true, irrespective of the actual hash value. This can lead to successful verification of a forged signature by X509.verifySignature(). This poses a significant risk, as it can be exploited to bypass authentication mechanisms or install malicious software that appears to be legitimately signed.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn attacker crafts a malicious DSA key pair, manipulating the domain parameters g, y, and r to specific values (e.g., g=1, y=1, r=1).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker uses this maliciously crafted key to forge a DSA signature for arbitrary data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe forged signature, along with the manipulated DSA public key, is presented to an application using a vulnerable version of jsrsasign.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe application calls KJUR.crypto.DSA.setPublic with the attacker-controlled public key, which contains the malicious domain parameters.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe application attempts to verify the forged signature using X509.verifySignature().\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to the improper validation of DSA domain parameters, the verification equation evaluates to true regardless of the hash of the signed data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe application incorrectly accepts the forged signature as valid.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker gains unauthorized access to resources or executes arbitrary code, relying on the successful verification of the forged signature.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-4600 can have severe consequences.
