<blockquote>
<h2>1.4.3 - 2026-11-03</h2>
<h3>Security</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>HIGH</strong>: X.509 certificate chain verification ignores name constraints.
<ul>
<li><code>pki.verifyCertificateChain()</code> does not check the nameConstraints
extension (RFC 5280 4.2.1.10). A non-critical nameConstraints extension
in a CA certificate is ignored, so a name-constrained intermediate CA can
issue certificates for names outside its permitted subtrees, or inside
its excluded subtrees, and the chain verifies. Exploitation requires the
private key of a name-constrained CA that chains to a trusted root. A
critical nameConstraints extension is rejected as an unsupported critical
extension.</li>
<li>Reported by <a href="https://github.com/bhaswanthc"><code>@bhaswanthc</code></a>.</li>
<li>CVE ID: <a href="">CVE-TBD</a></li>
<li>GHSA ID: <a href="https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/security/advisories/GHSA-3cc4-3294-vgjf">GHSA-3cc4-3294-vgjf</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>MODERATE</strong>: TLS client crash on a handshake record without a session.
<ul>
<li>A TLS client throws an uncaught <code>TypeError</code> from <code>process()</code> when it
receives a ServerHello while it has no session: after a <code>close_notify</code>
alert or a call to <code>close()</code>, or before <code>handshake()</code> is called. A
malicious server, or an on-path attacker, can terminate a Node.js process
that passes socket data to <code>process()</code> without catching exceptions.
Servers are not affected.</li>
<li>Reported by <a href="https://github.com/manus-use"><code>@manus-use</code></a>.</li>
<li>CVE ID: <a href="">CVE-TBD</a></li>
<li>GHSA ID: <a href="https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/security/advisories/GHSA-j8rw-jp99-435v">GHSA-j8rw-jp99-435v</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>MODERATE</strong>: ReDoS in <code>forge.http</code> response header parsing.
<ul>
<li><code>forge.http</code> trims response header and <code>Set-Cookie</code> values with a
regular expression that takes quadratic time on a long run of whitespace
followed by another character. A server, or an on-path attacker, can
block a <code>forge.http</code> client for minutes with one large header.</li>
<li>Reported by <a href="https://github.com/manus-pi"><code>@manus-pi</code></a>.</li>
<li>CVE ID: <a href="">CVE-TBD</a></li>
<li>GHSA ID: <a href="https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/security/advisories/GHSA-6cv4-p8m7-4r25">GHSA-6cv4-p8m7-4r25</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>MODERATE</strong>: TLS client crash on an unsupported ServerHello compression
method.
<ul>
<li>A TLS client accepts any compression method in the ServerHello,
although it only offers no compression. An unknown method makes
<code>process()</code> throw an uncaught <code>Error</code> at ServerHelloDone, before the
server is authenticated. A malicious server, or an on-path attacker, can
terminate a Node.js process that passes socket data to <code>process()</code>
without catching exceptions, including through <code>forge.tls.wrapSocket</code>.
Servers are not affected.</li>
<li>Reported by <a href="https://github.com/alienkeric"><code>@alienkeric</code></a>.</li>
<li>CVE ID: <a href="">CVE-TBD</a></li>
<li>GHSA ID: <a href="https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/security/advisories/GHSA-w4xr-hqv8-ch44">GHSA-w4xr-hqv8-ch44</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>LOW</strong>: Ed25519 signature verification accepts small-order public keys.
<ul>
<li><code>ed25519.verify()</code> does not reject public keys of small order, such as
the identity point. Under such a key, a signature with <code>S = 0</code> and a
small-order <code>R</code> verifies for many or, with the identity key, all
messages, without any private key. Applications are affected only if</li>
</ul>
