Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-06-10 22:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:47
Severity
7.0 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L
Summary
Fedify is a TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub. Prior to versions 1.9.11, 1.10.10, 2.0.18, 2.1.14, and 2.2.3, an attacker can make use of JSON-LD features to restructure a JSON-LD document that would change how Fedify interprets it without changing its Linked Data Signature, allowing them to alter a third-party signed activity they have received. Versions 1.9.11, 1.10.10, 2.0.18, 2.1.14, and 2.2.3 fix the issue.
