tenvoynpmDescription
Impact
The verifyWithMessage method of tEnvoyNaClSigningKey always returns true for any signature of a SHA-512 hash matching the SHA-512 hash of the message even if the signature is invalid.
Patches
Upgrade to v7.0.3 immediately to resolve this issue. Since the vulnerability lies within the verification method, the previous signatures are still valid. We highly recommend reverifying any signatures that were previously verified with the vulnerable verifyWithMessage method.
Workarounds
In tenvoy.js under the verifyWithMessage method definition within the tEnvoyNaClSigningKey class, ensure that the return statement call to this.verify ends in .verified. For example, the return statement should start with return this.verify(signed, password).verified && instead of return this.verify(signed, password) && .

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for tenvoy, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update tenvoy to 7.0.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7r96-8g3x-g36m is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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.
