Popular Forge library gets fix for signature verification bypass flaw

A vulnerability in the ‘node-forge’ package, a popular JavaScript cryptography library, could be exploited to bypass signature verifications by crafting data that appears valid.

The flaw is tracked as CVE-2025–12816 and received a high severity rating. It arises from the library’s ASN.1 validation mechanism, which allows malformed data to pass checks even when it is cryptographically invalid.

“An interpretation-conflict vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and earlier enables unauthenticated attackers to craft ASN.1 structures to desynchronize schema validations, yielding a semantic divergence that may bypass downstream cryptographic verifications and security decisions,” reads the flaw’s description in the National Vulnerabilities Database (NVD).

We Finally Understand What Happened Before the Big Bang

For decades, we were taught the universe is 13.8 billion years old. Textbooks repeated it. Documentaries swore by it. Every model of cosmic history depended on it.
But now the numbers are breaking.

The James Webb Space Telescope is detecting galaxies that shouldn’t exist, stars older than our timeline allows, and cosmic structures so mature they overturn everything we thought we understood.
Reality is being rewritten in real time.

New evidence points to a universe that could be 26.7 billion years old – nearly double the age we believed. And if that’s true, then the biggest question becomes unavoidable.
What came before the Big Bang?

The answer is colder, emptier, and far stranger than anything in standard cosmology.
Get ready. We’re going back to the moment before everything.
