Which packages are affected by GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6?

GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 affects the following packages: libcrux-ed25519 (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6?

Update libcrux-ed25519 to 0.0.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 in my crates.io dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for libcrux-ed25519. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

When was GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6 was published on March 26, 2026 and was last updated on March 27, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

The libcrux-ed25519 key generation samples Ed25519 secret keys from a provided CSPRNG in a loop for up to 100 attempts until a non-zero key is found. If a non-zero key could not be sampled within 100 attempts the key generation function would silently continue with an all-zero buffer as the secret key.

Impact

This bug only occurs in the event of a catastrophic failure of the CSPRNG, but would allow anyone to forge signatures under the resulting static signing key.

Mitigation

Instead of silently continuing with an all-zero signing key, starting from version 0.0.7 key generation will error in the case of 100 failed attempts at sampling a valid key.
