Vulnerability from osv_rustsec
All published versions of dcrypt-sign before 2.0.0 accepted the Edwards
identity as an Ed25519 public key. A signature with R = B and S = 1 then
verified for every message because the challenge term multiplied the identity.
The implementation also admitted other noncanonical or small-order inputs.
Consumers that accepted externally supplied dcrypt Ed25519 keys may therefore
have accepted forged authorizations.
Version 2.0.0 replaces the custom arithmetic with ed25519-dalek, uses strict
verification, and rejects noncanonical, small-order, and non-torsion-free public
keys and R values, as well as noncanonical S >= L. No wrapper around the
affected verifier is recommended as a complete workaround. Upgrade to 2.0.0 or
later, audit registered keys and trust stores, and review historical actions
authorized with externally supplied keys.
