2 elliptic vulnerabilities found in yarn.lock 16 days ago
Remediation
Upgrade elliptic to version 6.5.4 or later. For example:

elliptic@^6.5.4:
version "6.5.4"
Always verify the validity and compatibility of suggestions with your codebase.

Details
CVE-2020-28498 GHSA-r9p9-mrjm-926w
moderate severity
Vulnerable versions: < 6.5.4
Patched version: 6.5.4
The npm package elliptic before version 6.5.4 are vulnerable to Cryptographic Issues via the secp256k1 implementation in elliptic/ec/key.js. There is no check to confirm that the public key point passed into the derive function actually exists on the secp256k1 curve. This results in the potential for the private key used in this implementation to be revealed after a number of ECDH operations are performed.

CVE-2020-13822 GHSA-vh7m-p724-62c2
high severity
Vulnerable versions: < 6.5.3
Patched version: 6.5.3
The Elliptic package before version 6.5.3 for Node.js allows ECDSA signature malleability via variations in encoding, leading '\0' bytes, or integer overflows. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact if an application relied on a single canonical signature.
