CVE-2025-58359 (GCVE-0-2025-58359)

Title

frost-core: refresh shares with smaller min_signers will reduce group security

Summary

ZF FROST is a Rust implementation of FROST (Flexible Round-Optimised Schnorr Threshold signatures). In versions 2.0.0 through 2.1.0, refresh shares with smaller min_signers will reduce security of group. The inability to change min_signers (i.e. the threshold) with the refresh share functionality (frost_core::keys::refresh module) was not made clear to users. Using a smaller value would not decrease the threshold, and attempts to sign using a smaller threshold would fail. Additionally, after refreshing the shares with a smaller threshold, it would still be possible to sign with the original threshold, potentially causing a security loss to the participant's shares. This issue is fixed in version 2.2.0.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-03 21:29 – Updated: 2025-09-05 16:11

Summary

frost-core: refresh shares with smaller min_signers will reduce security of group

Details

Impact

It was not clear that it is not possible to change min_signers (i.e. the threshold) with the refresh share functionality (frost_core::keys::refresh module). Using a smaller value would not decrease the threshold, and attempts to sign using a smaller threshold would fail. Additionally, after refreshing the shares with a smaller threshold, it would still be possible to sign with the original threshold; however, this could cause a security loss to the participant's shares. We have not determined the exact security implications of doing so and judged simpler to just validate min_signers.

If for some reason you have done a refresh share procedure with a smaller min_signers we strongly recommend migrating to a new key.

Patches

Updating to 2.2.0 will ensure that the min_signers parameter will be validated. However it won't restore the security of groups refreshed with a smaller min_signers parameters.

Workarounds

You don't need to update if you don't use the refresh share functionality, or if you didn't try to change the min_signers parameter using the refresh share functionality.
