Prior to 1.4.1, node-forge parsed deprecated extension OIDs 2.5.29.10 and 2.5.29.13 as basicConstraints, and pki.verifyCertificateChain() used the first extension with that name. Exploitation requires a CA trusted by the application to issue a certificate carrying an attacker-supplied deprecated-OID extension, commonly because the CA copies extensions from a certificate signing request. By placing a permissive deprecated extension before the genuine 2.5.29.19 basicConstraints extension, the certificate holder could have the certificate accepted as a CA and issue certificates for arbitrary names, enabling server or client impersonation. If the issuing CA adds a keyUsage extension without keyCertSign, node-forge rejects the chain. This issue is fixed in version 1.4.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-29T20:17:30.067+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-30T17:18:03.88+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":7.4,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/commit/58c06bc251856b409c30ecb35a93f5f6c9bbc84a","https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/releases/tag/v1.4.1","https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/security/advisories/GHSA-5x38-2vff-x55p"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-119190","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Undergoing Analysis","weaknesses":["CWE-295","CWE-436"],"productCriteria":[],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-10-29T20:17:30.067","lastModified":"2026-10-30T17:18:03.880"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
