Bumps node-forge from 1.3.1 to 1.4.0.

Changelog

Sourced from node-forge's changelog.

1.4.0 - 2026-03-24

Security

• HIGH: Denial of Service in BigInteger.modInverse()
  • A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists due to an infinite loop in the BigInteger.modInverse() function (inherited from the bundled jsbn library). When modInverse() is called with a zero value as input, the internal Extended Euclidean Algorithm enters an unreachable exit condition, causing the process to hang indefinitely and consume 100% CPU.
  • Reported by Kr0emer.
  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33891
  • GHSA ID: GHSA-5gfm-wpxj-wjgq
• HIGH: Signature forgery in RSA-PKCS due to ASN.1 extra field.
  • RSASSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification accepts forged signatures for low public exponent keys (e=3). Attackers can forge signatures by stuffing "garbage" bytes within the ASN.1 structure in order to construct a signature that passes verification, enabling Bleichenbacher style forgery. This issue is similar to CVE-2022-24771, but adds bytes in an addition field within the ASN.1 structure, rather than outside of it.
  • Additionally, forge does not validate that signatures include a minimum of 8 bytes of padding as defined by the specification, providing attackers additional space to construct Bleichenbacher forgeries.
  • Reported as part of a U.C. Berkeley security research project by:
    • Austin Chu, Sohee Kim, and Corban Villa.
  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33894
  • GHSA ID: GHSA-ppp5-5v6c-4jwp
• HIGH: Signature forgery in Ed25519 due to missing S < L check.
  • Ed25519 signature verification accepts forged non-canonical signatures where the scalar S is not reduced modulo the group order (S >= L). A valid signature and its S + L variant both verify in forge, while Node.js crypto.verify (OpenSSL-backed) rejects the S + L variant, as defined by the specification. This class of signature malleability has been exploited in practice to bypass authentication and authorization logic (see CVE-2026-25793, CVE-2022-35961). Applications relying on signature uniqueness (i.e., dedup by signature bytes, replay tracking, signed-object canonicalization checks) may be bypassed.
  • Reported as part of a U.C. Berkeley security research project by:
    • Austin Chu, Sohee Kim, and Corban Villa.
  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33895
  • GHSA ID: GHSA-q67f-28xg-22rw
• HIGH: basicConstraints bypass in certificate chain verification.
  • pki.verifyCertificateChain() does not enforce RFC 5280 basicConstraints requirements when an intermediate certificate lacks both the basicConstraints and keyUsage extensions. This allows any leaf certificate (without these extensions) to act as a CA and sign other certificates, which node-forge will accept as valid.
  • Reported by Doruk Tan Ozturk (@​peaktwilight) - doruk.ch
  • CVE ID: CVE-2026-33896
  • GHSA ID: GHSA-2328-f5f3-gj25

Note

Low Risk
Lockfile-only dependency upgrade with no app logic changes; reduces exposure to known forge CVEs rather than introducing new behavior.

Overview
Updates the lockfile so node-forge resolves to 1.4.0 instead of 1.3.1. There are no application source changes—only package-lock.json (including a minor nested lockfile cleanup under @chain-registry/utils).

1.4.0 is a security release that fixes several HIGH issues in forge: DoS in BigInteger.modInverse(), RSA-PKCS and Ed25519 signature verification weaknesses, and missing basicConstraints enforcement in certificate chain verification. The package is pulled in transitively (e.g. Expo tooling and dev servers), so this bump hardens those dependency paths without changing your own code.

Review the following alerts detected in dependencies.

According to your organization's Security Policy, it is recommended to resolve "Warn" alerts. Learn more about Socket for GitHub.

Action	Severity	Alert  (click "▶" to expand/collapse)
Warn		Obfuscated code: npm node-forge is 90.0% likely obfuscated Confidence: 0.90 Location: Package overview From: package-lock.json → npm/expo@53.0.20 → npm/@walletconnect/web3wallet@1.10.1 → npm/node-forge@1.4.0 ℹ Read more on: This package | This alert | What is obfuscated code? Next steps: Take a moment to review the security alert above. Review the linked package source code to understand the potential risk. Ensure the package is not malicious before proceeding. If you're unsure how to proceed, reach out to your security team or ask the Socket team for help at support@socket.dev. Suggestion: Packages should not obfuscate their code. Consider not using packages with obfuscated code. Mark the package as acceptable risk. To ignore this alert only in this pull request, reply with the comment @SocketSecurity ignore npm/node-forge@1.4.0. You can also ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all.
