Crypto++ through 8.4 contains a timing side channel in ECDSA signature generation. Function FixedSizeAllocatorWithCleanup could write to memory outside of the allocation if the allocated memory was not 16-byte aligned. NOTE: this issue exists because the CVE-2019-14318 fix was intentionally removed for functionality reasons.

### Impact This may impact users that use Shescape on Windows in a threaded context (e.g. using [Worker threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html)). The vulnerability can result in Shescape escaping (or quoting) for the wrong shell, thus allowing attackers to bypass protections depending on the combination of expected and used shell. This snippet demonstrates a vulnerable use of Shescape: ```javascript // vulnerable.js import { exec } from "node:child_process"; import { Worker, isMainThread } from 'node:worker_threads'; import * as shescape from "shescape"; if (isMainThread) { // 1. Something like a worker thread must be used. The reason being that they // unexpectedly change environment variable names on Windows. new Worker("./vulnerable.js"); } else { // 2. Example configuration that's problematic. In this setup example the // expected default system shell is CMD. We configure the use of PowerShell. // Shescape will fail to look up PowerShell and default t...

In large metropolitan areas, tourists are often easy to spot because they're far more inclined than locals to gaze upward at the surrounding skyscrapers. Security experts say this same tourist dynamic is a dead giveaway in virtually all computer intrusions that lead to devastating attacks like ransomware, and that more organizations should set simple virtual tripwires that sound the alarm when authorized users and devices are spotted exhibiting this behavior.
