Forge ChangeLog

0.10.0 - 2019-09-01

Changed

  • BREAKING: Node.js 4 no longer supported. The code may still work, and non-invasive patches to keep it working will be considered. However, more modern tools no longer support old Node.js versions making testing difficult.

Removed

  • BREAKING: Remove util.getPath, util.setPath, and util.deletePath. util.setPath had a potential prototype pollution security issue when used with unsafe inputs. These functions are not used by forge itself. They date from an early time when forge was targeted at providing general helper functions. The library direction changed to be more focused on cryptography. Many other excellent libraries are more suitable for general utilities. If you need a replacement for these functions, consier get, set, and unset from lodash. But also consider the potential similar security issues with those APIs.

0.9.2 - 2019-09-01

Changed

  • Added util.setPath security note to function docs and to README.

Notes

  • SECURITY: The util.setPath function has the potential to cause prototype pollution if used with unsafe input.
    • This function is not used internally by forge.
    • The rest of the library is unaffected by this issue.
    • Do not use unsafe input with this function.
    • Usage with known input should function as expected. (Including input intentionally using potentially problematic keys.)
    • No code changes will be made to address this issue in 0.9.x. The current behavior could be considered a feature rather than a security issue. 0.10.0 will be released that removes util.getPath and util.setPath. Consider get and set from lodash if you need replacements. But also consider the potential similar security issues with those APIs.

0.9.0 - 2019-09-04

Added

  • Add ed25519.publicKeyFromAsn1 and ed25519.privateKeyFromAsn1 APIs.
  • A few OIDs used in EV certs.

Fixed

  • Improve ed25519 NativeBuffer check.

0.8.5 - 2019-06-18

Fixed

  • Remove use of const.

0.8.4 - 2019-05-22

0.8.1 - 2019-02-23

Fixed

  • Fix off-by-1 bug with kem random generation.

0.8.0 - 2019-01-31

Fixed

  • Handle creation of certificates with notBefore and notAfter dates less than Jan 1, 1950 or greater than or equal to Jan 1, 2050.

Added

  • Add OID 2.5.4.13 "description".
  • Add OID 2.16.840.1.113730.1.13 "nsComment".
    • Also handle extension when creating a certificate.
  • pki.verifyCertificateChain:
    • Add validityCheckDate option to allow checking the certificate validity period against an arbitrary Date or null for no check at all. The current date is used by default.
  • tls.createConnection:
    • Add verifyOptions option that passes through to pki.verifyCertificateChain. Can be used for the above validityCheckDate option.

Changed

  • Support WebCrypto API in web workers.
  • rsa.generateKeyPair:
    • Use crypto.generateKeyPair/crypto.generateKeyPairSync on Node.js if available (10.12.0+) and not in pure JS mode.
    • Use JS fallback in rsa.generateKeyPair if prng option specified since this isn't supported by current native APIs.
    • Only run key generation comparison tests if keys will be deterministic.
  • PhantomJS is deprecated, now using Headless Chrome with Karma.
  • Note: Using Headless Chrome vs PhantomJS may cause newer JS features to slip into releases without proper support for older runtimes and browsers. Please report such issues and they will be addressed.
  • pki.verifyCertificateChain:
    • Signature changed to (caStore, chain, options). Older (caStore, chain, verify) signature is still supported. New style is to to pass in a verify option.

  • Support for PKCS#7 detached signatures.

Changed

  • Improve webpack/browser detection.

0.7.5 - 2018-03-30

Fixed

  • Remove use of const.

Fixed

  • Potential regex denial of service in form.js.

Added

  • Support for ED25519.

  • Fortuna implementation bugs.

Removed

  • BREAKING: Can no longer call forge({...}) to create new instances.
  • Remove a large amount of old cruft.

Migration from 0.6.x to 0.7.x

  • (all) If you used the feature to create a new forge instance with new configuration options you will need to rework your code. That ability has been removed due to implementation complexity. The main rare use was to set the option to use pure JavaScript. That is now available as a library global flag forge.options.usePureJavaScript.
  • (npm,bower) If you used the default main file there is little to nothing to change.
  • (npm) If you accessed a sub-resource like forge/js/pki you should either switch to just using the main forge and access forge.pki or update to forge/lib/pki.
  • (bower) If you used a sub-resource like forge/js/pki you should switch to just using forge and access forge.pki. The bower release bundles everything in one minified file.
  • (bower) A configured workerScript like /bower_components/forge/js/prime.worker.js will need to change to /bower_components/forge/dist/prime.worker.min.js.
  • (all) If you used the networking support or flash socket support, you will need to use a custom build and/or adjust where files are loaded from. This functionality is not included in the bower distribution by default and is also now in a different directory.
  • (all) The library should now directly support building custom bundles with webpack, browserify, or similar.
  • (all) If building a custom bundle ensure the correct dependencies are included. In particular, note there is now a md.all.js file to include all digest algorithms. Individual files limit what they include by default to allow smaller custom builds. For instance, pbdkf2.js has a sha1 default but does not include any algorithm files by default. This allows the possibility to include only sha256 without the overhead of sha1 and sha512.

Notes

  • This major update requires updating the version to 0.7.x. The existing work-in-progress "0.7.x" branch will be painfully rebased on top of this new 0.7.x and moved forward to 0.8.x or later as needed.
  • 0.7.x is a start of simplifying forge based on common issues and what has appeared to be the most common usage. Please file issues with feedback if the changes are problematic for your use cases.

0.6.x - 2016 and earlier
