CVE-2025-14505

The ECDSA implementation of the Elliptic package generates incorrect signatures if an interim value of 'k' has leading zeros and may potentially expose a secret key. A similar miscalculation can happen whenever the size of the message digest is longer than the size of the curve. As a result invalid signatures may be generated which validate when tested. If an attacker can arbitrarily construct input they may also be able to expose the secret signing key.
