Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-10 22:17 - Updated: 2026-02-23 15:40

Severity ?

6.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Summary

cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. Prior to 46.0.5, the public_key_from_numbers (or EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key()), EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key() and load_pem_public_key() functions do not verify that the point belongs to the expected prime-order subgroup of the curve. This missing validation allows an attacker to provide a public key point P from a small-order subgroup. This can lead to security issues in various situations, such as the most commonly used signature verification (ECDSA) and shared key negotiation (ECDH). When the victim computes the shared secret as S = [victim_private_key]P via ECDH, this leaks information about victim_private_key mod (small_subgroup_order). For curves with cofactor > 1, this reveals the least significant bits of the private key. When these weak public keys are used in ECDSA , it's easy to forge signatures on the small subgroup. Only SECT curves are impacted by this. This vulnerability is fixed in 46.0.5.

Esto puede llevar a problemas de seguridad en varias situaciones, como la verificaci\u00f3n de firma (ECDSA) y la negociaci\u00f3n de clave compartida (ECDH) m\u00e1s com\u00fanmente utilizadas. Cuando la v\u00edctima calcula el secreto compartido como S = [victim_private_key]P a trav\u00e9s de ECDH, esto filtra informaci\u00f3n sobre victim_private_key mod (orden_subgrupo_peque\u00f1o). Para curvas con cofactor \u0026gt; 1, esto revela los bits menos significativos de la clave privada. Cuando estas claves p\u00fablicas d\u00e9biles se utilizan en ECDSA, es f\u00e1cil falsificar firmas en el subgrupo peque\u00f1o. Solo las curvas SECT se ven afectadas por esto.
