- Impact Protocol compliance vulnerability. The library allowed post-quantum handshake patterns that violated the PSK validity rule (Noise Protocol Framework Section 9.3). This could allow PSK-derived keys to be used for encryption without proper randomization by self-chosen ephemeral randomness, weakening security guarantees and potentially allowing catastrophic key reuse. Affected default patterns include noisepqkkpsk0, noisepqknpsk0, noisepqnkpsk0, noisepqnnpsk0, and some hybrid variants. Users of these patterns may have been using handshakes that do not meet the intended security properties. Patches The issue is fully patched and released in Clatter v2.2.0. The fixed version includes runtime checks to detect offending handshake patterns. Workarounds Avoid using offending psk0 variants of post-quantum patterns. Review custom handshake patterns carefully.

Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.2.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
