CVE-2026-71883
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-f5wg-4mfp-h458 ↗EUVD-2026-91992 ↗
description
bcprov-lts8on versions before 2.73.13 can expose encryption key material when using affected one-shot native cipher operations. An attacker able to trigger an application to encrypt into the same array used for its key may cause the application to store or send that key instead of ciphertext, on JVMs that copy JNI arrays.
mitigation
Upgrade bcprov-lts8on to version 2.73.13 or later. Until upgraded, do not use a key, IV, or authenticated-data array as an encryption output buffer; use separate buffers or unaffected cipher paths.
fixed in 2.73.13
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.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
