This week

HIGH 8.7REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-4601 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.7) 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 before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Missing Cryptographic Step via the KJUR.crypto.DSA.signWithMessageHash process in the DSA signing implementation. An attacker can recover the private key by forcing r or s to be zero, so the library emits an invalid signature without retrying, and then solves for x from the resulting signature.
