CVE-2026-4541: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature in janmojzis tinyssh
A flaw has been found in janmojzis tinyssh up to 20250501. Impacted is an unknown function of the file tinyssh/crypto_sign_ed25519_tinyssh.c of the component Ed25519 Signature Handler. This manipulation causes improper verification of cryptographic signature. The attack is restricted to local execution. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is considered difficult. The exploit has been published and may be used. Upgrading to version 20260301 is recommended to address this issue. Patch name: 9c87269607e0d7d20174df742accc49c042cff17. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in janmojzis tinyssh versions up to 20250501 involves improper verification of cryptographic signatures within the Ed25519 Signature Handler component, specifically in an unknown function in tinyssh/crypto_sign_ed25519_tinyssh.c. The flaw could allow a local attacker with limited privileges to attempt exploitation, but the attack complexity is high and no user interaction is required. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.0, reflecting limited impact and exploitability. An exploit has been published, and upgrading to version 20260301 is recommended to remediate the issue.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows improper verification of cryptographic signatures, which could potentially undermine signature validation processes locally. However, the attack requires local access, has high complexity, and is difficult to exploit. The CVSS score of 2.0 indicates low impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrading janmojzis tinyssh to version 20260301 is recommended to address this vulnerability. Since a patch is available in this version, applying the official fix will mitigate the risk. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
