CVE-2026-17507
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-x7w3-c4mv-whm4 ↗EUVD-2026-91235 ↗
description
BC-JAVA's MLS implementation in bcmls before 1.86 incorrectly validates certain unsigned leaf indices. A current group member can trigger excessive JVM memory consumption and deny service to other members by sending a message with an out-of-range sender index.
mitigation
Upgrade bcmls to version 1.86 or later. Until upgraded, restrict MLS group membership to trusted participants to reduce exposure.
fixed in 1.86
outcome
Mechanism verified: the exploit fired on the vulnerable build and stayed silent on the patched one, but the server it ran against was ours, so no check ships for it.
