Technical details
The jsrsasign library (versions prior to 11.1.1) fails to properly validate DSA domain parameters within the 'KJUR.crypto.DSA.setPublic' function and related X.509 verification flows. By supplying specifically crafted, invalid domain parameters (such as g=1, y=1, and r=1), an attacker can satisfy the cryptographic verification equation regardless of the actual message hash. This allows for universal signature forgery and the creation of fraudulent X.509 certificates that 'X509.verifySignature()' will incorrectly accept as valid. The fix, introduced in version 11.1.1, implements strict validation of domain parameters (p, q, g, and y) during the public key import process.
