CVE-2026-4599 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.1) affecting jsrsasign. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Versions of the package jsrsasign from 7.0.0 and before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors via the getRandomBigIntegerZeroToMax and getRandomBigIntegerMinToMax functions in src/crypto-1.1.js; an attacker can recover the private key by exploiting the incorrect compareTo checks that accept out-of-range candidates and thus bias DSA nonces during signature generation.
