OpenZeppelin Contracts for Cairo is vulnerable to signature validation bypass

CVE-2023-23940

Description

OpenZeppelin Contracts for Cairo is a library for secure smart contract development written in Cairo for StarkNet, a decentralized ZK Rollup. is_valid_eth_signature is missing a call to finalize_keccak after calling verify_eth_signature. As a result, any contract using is_valid_eth_signature from the account library (such as the EthAccount preset) is vulnerable to a malicious sequencer. Specifically, the malicious sequencer would be able to bypass signature validation to impersonate an instance of these accounts. The issue has been patched in 0.6.1.
