[dependabot]

Bumps node-forge from 1.3.3 to 1.4.0.

Changelog

Sourced from node-forge's changelog.

1.4.0 - 2026-03-24

Security

• HIGH: Denial of Service in BigInteger.modInverse()
  • A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists due to an infinite loop in the BigInteger.modInverse() function (inherited from the bundled jsbn library). When modInverse() is called with a zero value as input, the internal Extended Euclidean Algorithm enters an unreachable exit condition, causing the process to hang indefinitely and consume 100% CPU.
  • Reported by Kr0emer.
  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33891
  • GHSA ID: GHSA-5gfm-wpxj-wjgq
• HIGH: Signature forgery in RSA-PKCS due to ASN.1 extra field.
  • RSASSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification accepts forged signatures for low public exponent keys (e=3). Attackers can forge signatures by stuffing "garbage" bytes within the ASN.1 structure in order to construct a signature that passes verification, enabling Bleichenbacher style forgery. This issue is similar to CVE-2022-24771, but adds bytes in an addition field within the ASN.1 structure, rather than outside of it.
  • Additionally, forge does not validate that signatures include a minimum of 8 bytes of padding as defined by the specification, providing attackers additional space to construct Bleichenbacher forgeries.
  • Reported as part of a U.C. Berkeley security research project by:
    • Austin Chu, Sohee Kim, and Corban Villa.
  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33894
  • GHSA ID: GHSA-ppp5-5v6c-4jwp
• HIGH: Signature forgery in Ed25519 due to missing S < L check.
  • Ed25519 signature verification accepts forged non-canonical signatures where the scalar S is not reduced modulo the group order (S >= L). A valid signature and its S + L variant both verify in forge, while Node.js crypto.verify (OpenSSL-backed) rejects the S + L variant, as defined by the specification. This class of signature malleability has been exploited in practice to bypass authentication and authorization logic (see CVE-2026-25793, CVE-2022-35961). Applications relying on signature uniqueness (i.e., dedup by signature bytes, replay tracking, signed-object canonicalization checks) may be bypassed.
  • Reported as part of a U.C. Berkeley security research project by:
    • Austin Chu, Sohee Kim, and Corban Villa.
  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33895
  • GHSA ID: GHSA-q67f-28xg-22rw
• HIGH: basicConstraints bypass in certificate chain verification.
  • pki.verifyCertificateChain() does not enforce RFC 5280 basicConstraints requirements when an intermediate certificate lacks both the basicConstraints and keyUsage extensions. This allows any leaf certificate (without these extensions) to act as a CA and sign other certificates, which node-forge will accept as valid.
  • Reported by Doruk Tan Ozturk (@​peaktwilight) - doruk.ch
  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33896
  • GHSA ID: GHSA-2328-f5f3-gj25

Hi @dependabot[bot]. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a che-incubator member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
