CVE-2022-23806
Curve.IsOnCurve in crypto/elliptic in Go before 1.16.14 and 1.17.x before 1.17.7 can incorrectly return true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.07%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
