Description
## Summary
The **elliptic** package (a dependency of crypto-browserify) is affected by CVE-2025-14505, causing incorrect ECDSA
signatures and potential private key exposure.
## Details
- **CVE:** [CVE-2025-14505](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-14505)
- **GHSA:** [GHSA-848j-6mx2-7j84](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-848j-6mx2-7j84)
- **Affected:** elliptic ≤ 6.6.1 (all versions)
- **Upstream issue:** [indutny/elliptic#344](https://github.com/indutny/elliptic/issues/344)
## Impact
Incorrect signature generation when nonce **k** has leading zeros, potentially allowing private key recovery if attackers
obtain both faulty and correct signatures.
## Status
No patch is available yet. Tracking this issue to update the dependency once elliptic releases a fix.
