libp2p: Gossipsub StrictSign accepts attacker-signed messages as a victim RSA peer ID

Summary @libp2p/gossipsub StrictSign validation does not bind a supplied message public key to the claimed from peer ID when from is an RSA-style peer ID that does not inline its public key. An attacker can set from to a victim RSA peer ID, sign the message with the attacker's own private key,...

CVE-2026-86038

libp2p is a JavaScript implementation of the libp2p networking stack. From 15.0.0 until 16.0.5, @libp2p/gossipsub uses the default StrictSign policy in packages/gossipsub/src/utils/buildRawMessage.ts, where validateToRawMessage verifies a signature with attacker-controlled msg.key but skips bindi...

CVE-2026-86039

CVE-2026-86039 affects @libp2p/peer-store (part of the JavaScript libp2p networking stack) from versions 8.0.0 through 12.0.24 . The root cause is in consumePeerRecord, which verifies a RecordEnvelope signature but fails to require that PeerRecord.peerId in the signed payload matches the signer p...

CVE-2026-86039 libp2p: PeerStore accepts attacker-signed PeerRecords for a victim peer ID and stores certified attacker addresses

libp2p is a JavaScript implementation of the libp2p networking stack. From 8.0.0 until 12.0.24, @libp2p/peer-store in packages/peer-store/src/index.ts uses consumePeerRecord to verify a RecordEnvelope signature but does not require PeerRecord.peerId in the signed payload to equal the signer peer ...

GHSA-CWC9-CP4J-MCVV libp2p: CPU DoS via oversized IHAVE and IWANT control message arrays

Summary gossipsub processes IHAVE and IWANT control messages by iterating every received message ID synchronously before doing anything with the results. There is no cap on how many IDs a single frame may contain. The default LP frame limit is 4MB, which fits roughly 180,000 message IDs. Iteratin...
