Arbitrary access via Γ-signature forgery
Published Jun 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Cryptographic signature verification in Eclipse Biscuit Rust 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 allows remote attackers to forge tokens with arbitrary access. Biscuit specification v1 uses aggregate Γ-signatures vulnerable to a sub-exponential k-sum universal forgery under a key-only attack. Any service accepting v1 Biscuit tokens can treat a forged token as valid, enabling unauthenticated authorization at attacker-chosen privilege levels.
