{"id":"CVE-2025-53359","aliases":["GHSA-3w94-vq2x-v5wr"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2025-53359","summary":"ethereum does not check transaction malleability for EIP-2930, EIP-1559 and EIP-7702 transactions","details":"### Impact\n\nPrior to `ethereum` crate v0.18.0, signature malleability (according to EIP-2) was only checked for \"legacy\" transactions, but not for EIP-2930, EIP-1559 and EIP-7702 transactions.\n\nThis is a specification deviation and therefore a high severity advisory if the `ethereum` crate is used for Ethereum mainnet. Note that signature malleability itself is not a security issue, and therefore if the `ethereum` crate is used on a single-implementation blockchain, it's a low/informational severity advisory.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe issue is fixed in `ethereum` v0.18.0\n\n### Workarounds\n\nYou can also manually check transaction malleability outside of the crate. But it's recommended to simply upgrade the version.\n\n### References\n\nSee PR: https://github.com/rust-ethereum/ethereum/pull/67","published":"2025-07-02T15:55:18.026Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:36.975826900Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"ethereum","fixedVersion":"0.18.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/rust-ethereum/ethereum/commit/2dd9d1d5d0936ec7350093ff3a5a7169a349db77","label":"rust-ethereum/ethereum@2dd9d1d"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/53xxx/CVE-2025-53359.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/rust-ethereum/ethereum/security/advisories/GHSA-3w94-vq2x-v5wr"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-53359"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/rust-ethereum/ethereum/commit/2dd9d1d5d0936ec7350093ff3a5a7169a349db77"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/rust-ethereum/ethereum/pull/67"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/rust-ethereum/ethereum"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:36.975826900Z"}}
