JWS integrity weakening via accepted undersized keys
Published Aug 6, 2025 · Updated Aug 26, 2025
Inadequate encryption strength in jsrsasign 11.1.0 allows local users to weaken JWS integrity with undersized HMAC or RSA keys. The report alleges that JWS signing and verification operate with HMAC and RSA keys shorter than cited standards, but identifies no enforcing function. The record is disputed because key length is selected by consuming applications; impact requires an application to use an undersized key.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
