GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx affects the following packages: github.com/bnb-chain/tss-lib (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx?

No patched version of github.com/bnb-chain/tss-lib has shipped for GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

How do I detect GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/bnb-chain/tss-lib, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx 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-h24c-6p6p-m3vx?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx 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-h24c-6p6p-m3vx published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-h24c-6p6p-m3vx was published on September 1, 2023. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Impact

The specification of the GG18 threshold ECDSA signature protocol contains a vulnerability allowing an attacker to recover the shared secret key. If a participant generates a Paillier modulus N containing small factors (less than 2^100) they can interact with other participants in the signing protocol to steal their secret key shares in as little as sixteen signing attempts. The master key can then be reconstructed from these shares.

Patches

The implementation of GG18 in tss-lib did not prove that N is biprime or that it doesn't contain small factors. The fixed implementation adds the following proofs from the CGGMP21 threshold ECDSA protocol to the key generation:

Paillier-Blum Modulus (N is the product of two primes)
No Small Factor (both factors of N are greater than 2^256)

These proofs apply to both the Paillier encryption modulus N, and the modulus NTilde used in MTA proofs.

To address the issue in the resharing protocol, an additional round has been added to the end so that participants can confirm that they received valid proofs.
