What is CVE-2021-43393?

CVE-2021-43393 is a medium-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 4 Mar 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

STMicroelectronics STSAFE-J 1.1.4, J-SAFE3 1.2.5, and J-SIGN sometimes allow attackers to abuse signature verification. This is associated with the ECDSA signature algorithm on the Java Card J-SAFE3 and STSAFE-J platforms exposing a 3.0.4 Java Card API. It is exploitable for STSAFE-J in closed configuration and J-SIGN (when signature verification is activated) but not for J-SAFE3 EPASS BAC and EAC products. It might also impact other products based on the J-SAFE-3 Java Card platform.

Weakness: CWE-347
