Lack of data validation In node-forge

Description

A flaw was found in Forge (also called node-forge), a JavaScript implementation of Transport Layer Security. A remote attacker could exploit weaknesses in the RSASSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification process. By crafting malicious signatures that include extra data within the ASN structure and do not meet padding requirements, an attacker can bypass signature validation. This allows for the creation of forged signatures that appear legitimate, potentially compromising the integrity and authenticity of communications.
