CVE-2026-71890
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-jc55-7frr-fv5r ↗EUVD-2026-92006 ↗
description
bcmls versions before 1.86 incorrectly validate MLS external commits that request removal of a group member. An attacker with the group's public GroupInfo can cause another member to be removed and take over that member's ratchet-tree position.
mitigation
Upgrade bcmls to version 1.86 or later. Restrict distribution of public GroupInfo until all affected deployments are updated.
fixed in 1.86
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
