Mastodon: LD-Signature Bypass via JSON-LD Named-Graph Restructuring

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 13.05.2026 Published: 24.06.2026 Updated: 25.06.2026

Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub. Prior to 4.5.10, 4.4.17, and 4.3.23, Mastodon's normalization of incoming activities signed with Linked-Data Signatures does not sufficiently protect the activities from a certain class of spoofing, allowing attackers to re-arrange a valid signed JSON-LD activity from a third-party actor to have it processed differently. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.10, 4.4.17, and 4.3.23.
