GoogleOSV:GHSA-8QXJ-F9RH-9FG2Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature in Pure-Python ECDSA
0.002 Low
EPSS
Percentile
61.9%
A flaw was found in all python-ecdsa versions before 0.13.3, where it did not correctly verify whether signatures used DER encoding. Without this verification, a malformed signature could be accepted, making the signature malleable. Without proper verification, an attacker could use a malleable signature to create false transactions.
