Third-party blocks can be generated without transferring the whole token to the third-party authority. Instead, a `ThirdPartyBlock` request can be sent, providing only the necessary info to generate a third-party block and to sign it: 1. the public key of the previous block (used in the signature), 2. the public keys part of the token symbol table (for public key interning in datalog expressions). A third-part block request forged by a malicious user can trick the third-party authority into generating datalog trusting the wrong keypair. Tokens with third-party blocks containing `trusted` annotations generated through a third party block request. This has been addressed in version 4 of the specification. Users are advised to update their implementations to conform. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","published":"2024-08-05T19:47:44.903Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:48.362890342Z","cvss":{"score":3,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/biscuit-auth/biscuit/commit/c87cbb5d778964d6574df3e9e6579567cad12fff","label":"biscuit-auth/biscuit@c87cbb5"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/42xxx/CVE-2024-42350.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/biscuit-auth/biscuit/security/advisories/GHSA-rgqv-mwc3-c78m"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-42350"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/biscuit-auth/biscuit/commit/c87cbb5d778964d6574df3e9e6579567cad12fff"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/41xxx/CVE-2024-41949.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/biscuit-auth/biscuit-rust/security/advisories/GHSA-p9w4-585h-g3c7"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-41949"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:48.362890342Z"}}
