SCA: security update for github.com/consensys/gnark (GHSA-95v9-hv42-pwrj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435060

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- gnark is a zero-knowledge proof system framework. In versions prior to 0.14.0, the Verify function in
eddsa.go and ecdsa.go used the S value from a signature without asserting that 0 ≤ S < order, leading to a
signature malleability vulnerability. Because gnark’s native EdDSA and ECDSA circuits lack essential
constraints, multiple distinct witnesses can satisfy the same public inputs. In protocols where nullifiers
or anti-replay checks are derived from R and S, this enables signature malleability and may allow double
spending. This issue has been addressed in version 0.14.0. (CVE-2025-57801)
