Analysis Steps Per Finding

1. Identify operation type

   • Encryption/Decryption (RSA-OAEP, etc.)
   • Signing/Verification (ECDSA, RSA-PSS)
   • Key Exchange (ECDH, X25519, DH)

2. Extract all key material

   • Is the public key hardcoded in JS? → extract verbatim
   • Is the private key in JS? → CRITICAL, extract verbatim
   • PEM format? JWK? Raw bytes? → document format
   • Key size/curve (RSA-2048, P-256, secp256k1)?

3. Determine what is signed or encrypted

   • Request body? Specific fields? Challenge-response?

4. Find key loading mechanism

   // Where does the key come from?
   const pubKey = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBg..."
   // vs
   const pubKey = await fetch('/api/pubkey').then(r => r.text())
   

5. Trace to HTTP layer — is the signed/encrypted data sent in headers? body? query?

Embedded Key Extraction

If a PEM or base64 key is found embedded in JS, extract it FULLY:

EMBEDDED PUBLIC KEY FOUND
File: common.modules-6d4292d1.js
Line: 5501
Format: PEM (RSA-2048)

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA...
[full key]
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

JWK equivalent: (compute if possible)
  n: ...
  e: 65537
  kty: RSA
