CVE-2026-16000
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-m3jv-gj9x-qwrv ↗EUVD-2026-91205 ↗
description
BouncyCastle.Cryptography versions before 2.7.0 mishandle DSTU 7624 CCM authentication when applications directly use KCcmBlockCipher without associated data. An attacker able to observe encryptions of known or attacker-selected content may create ciphertexts that pass authentication checks.
mitigation
Upgrade BouncyCastle.Cryptography to version 2.7.0 or later. Until upgraded, do not use KCcmBlockCipher directly without associated data.
fixed in 2.7.0
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
