Descriptions

The verify function in lib/elliptic/eddsa/index.js in the Elliptic package before 6.5.6 for Node.js omits "sig.S().gte(sig.eddsa.curve.n) || sig.S().isNeg()" validation.

A flaw was found in the Elliptic package. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass EDDSA signature validation via improper handling of signature values where the S() component of the signature is not properly checked for being non-negative or smaller than the curve order.

This update for pgadmin4 fixes the following issues. Fixed socket.io: unhandled 'error' event. Fixed requirejs: prototype pollution via function config. Fixed requirejs: prototype pollution via function s.contexts._.configure. Fixed axios: server-side request forgery due to requests for path relative URLs being processed as protocol relative URLs in axios. Fixed micromatch: vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service. Fixed braces: fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. Fixed webpack: DOM clobbering gadget in AutoPublicPathRuntimeModule could lead to XSS Fixed elliptic: ECDSA signature verification error due to leading zero may reject legitimate transactions in elliptic. Fixed elliptic: Missing Validation in Elliptic's EDDSA Signature Verification. Fixed OAuth2 issue that could lead to information leak.
