node-rsa is vulnerable to Side-channel Attack
75
High Risk
This Affects:
node-rsaTL;DR
The node-rsa library performs RSA encryption, decryption, signing, and verification in JavaScript for Node.js and browser environments. Before the fix, PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption, OAEP decoding, PSS verification, and unblinded private RSA operations leaked timing information that a remote attacker can measure to recover plaintext or private key material. Miller-Rabin primality testing used predictable witnesses, imported CRT private key components were not cross-checked, and several key-import parsers lacked strict validation. The patch rewrites these code paths with constant-time decoding, RSA blinding, CSPRNG-based primality tests, CRT consistency checks, and hardened PKCS#8 and OpenSSH parsing.
