The signing nonce and the private key are drawn from makerandom. Because the high bit is always set, the result is not uniform: its top bit is fixed, producing insecure values.\"\n\nAn attacker who collects a modest number of signatures under an affected key, together with the public key, can recover the private key with a lattice attack.\n\nKeys used to sign with an affected version should be considered compromised and new keys should be generated.","published":"2026-07-05T02:17:40.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-25T15:10:00.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"9b29abf9-4ab0-4765-b253-1875cd9b441e","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-330"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00508,"percentile":0.43138,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.51%).
