What is CVE-2024-49365?

The tiny-secp256k1 JavaScript library has a vulnerability present in versions before 1.1.7, where a maliciously crafted JSON-stringifyable message can bypass security checks when the global Buffer is sourced from the NPM buffer package. This leads to distorted message validation, allowing erroneous objects to be processed as valid messages. Consequently, the verify() function could yield false-positive results. Users are urged to upgrade to version 1.1.7 to ensure proper validation and security.

Affected Version(s)
