CVSS 3.1
7.4 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:HCVE-2022-24759
High (7.4) in chainsafe js-libp2p-noise. EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in @chainsafe/libp2p-noise 4.1.2, 5.0.3.
`@chainsafe/libp2p-noise` contains TypeScript implementation of noise protocol, an encryption protocol used in libp2p. `@chainsafe/libp2p-noise` before 4.1.2 and 5.0.3 does not correctly validate signatures during the handshake process. This may allow a man-in-the-middle to pose as other peers and get those peers banned. Users should upgrade to version 4.1.2 or 5.0.3 to receive a patch. There are currently no known workarounds.
