CL-Signatures Revocation Scheme in Ursa has flaws that allow a holder to demonstrate non-revocation of a revoked credential
Discription

Summary The revocation schema that is part of the Ursa CL-Signatures implementations has a flaw that could impact the privacy guarantees defined by the AnonCreds verifiable credential model, allowing a malicious holder of a revoked credential to generate a valid Non-Revocation Proof for that credential as part of an AnonCreds presentation. Details The revocation schema that is part of the Ursa CL-Signatures implementation has a flaw that could impact the privacy guarantees defined by the AnonCreds verifiable credential model, allowing a malicious holder of a revoked credential to generate a valid Non-Revocation Proof for that credential as part of an AnonCreds presentation. The flaw exists in all CL-Signature versions published from the Hyperledger Ursa repository to the Ursa Rust Crate, and are fixed in all versions published from the Hyperledger AnonCreds CL-Signatures repository to the AnonCreds CL-Signatures Rust Crate. To exploit the flaw, a holder must update their wallet (agent) software, replacing the Hyperledger Ursa or AnonCreds CL-Signatures library that generates the proof of non-revocation. This may involve, for example, altering an iOS or Android application published in the respective app stores. A mitigation for this flaw is to use the application attestation capabilities (such as the Android "SafetyNet Attestation API") offered by the app store vendors to (for example) "help determine whether your servers are interacting with your genuine app running on a…Read More
