CVE-2025-66017: cggmp24 and cggmp21 are vulnerable to signature forgery through altered presignatures

November 25, 2025 (updated November 27, 2025)

This attack is against presignatures used in very specific context:

  • Presignatures + HD wallets derivation: security level reduces to 85 bits
    Previously users could generate a presignature, and then choose a HD derivation path while issuing a partial signature via Presignature::set_derivation_path, which is malleable to attack that reduces target security level. To mitigate, this method has been removed from API.
  • Presignatures + “raw signing” (when signer signs a hash without knowing an original message): results into signature forgery attack
    Previously, users were able to configure Presignature::issue_partial_signature with hashed message without ever providing original mesage. In new API, this method only accepts digests for which original message has been observed.
