    agent-js: Insecure Key Generation in Ed25519KeyIdentity.generate

    CVE-2024-1631 · GHSA-c9vv-fhgv-cjc3

When no seed value is provided, it is expected that the library generates the secret key using secure randomness. However, a recent change broke this guarantee and uses an insecure seed for key pair generation. Since the private key of this identity (535yc-uxytb-gfk7h-tny7p-vjkoe-i4krp-3qmcl-uqfgr-cpgej-yqtjq-rqe) is compromised, one could lose funds associated with the principal on ledgers or lose access to a canister where this principal is the controller.

Patches Patch for the vulnerability is available in v1.0.1 for all the packages listed in the advisory. Please upgrade and deploy your canisters immediately.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.0.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
