jsrsasign: Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors
CVE-2026-4599 is a critical-severity incomplete comparison with missing factors vulnerability in jsrsasign, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 11.1.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating jsrsasign to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.5% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update jsrsasign to 11.1.1 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Versions of the package jsrsasign from 7.0.0 and before 11.1.1 are vulnerable to Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors via the getRandomBigIntegerZeroToMax and getRandomBigIntegerMinToMax functions in src/crypto-1.1.js; an attacker can recover the private key by exploiting the incorrect compareTo checks that accept out-of-range candidates and thus bias DSA nonces during signature generation.

The underlying weakness: Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors
The product performs a comparison between entities that must consider multiple factors or characteristics of each entity, but the comparison does not include one or more of these factors.
