CVE-2026-4598: jsrsasign is vulnerable to DoS through Infinite Loop when processing zero or negative inputs

March 23, 2026 (updated March 29, 2026)

Versions of the package jsrsasign before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Infinite loop via the bnModInverse function in ext/jsbn2.js when the BigInteger.modInverse implementation receives zero or negative inputs, allowing an attacker to hang the process permanently by supplying such crafted values (e.g., modInverse(0, m) or modInverse(-1, m)).
