Sequential calls of encryption API (encrypt, wrap, and dump) result in nonce reuse
CVE-2024-21530 · GHSA-6878-6wc2-pf5h
- Affected
- crates.io cocoon < 0.4.0
- Fixed in
- 0.4.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Problem: Trying to create a new encrypted message with the same cocoon object generates the same ciphertext. It mostly affects MiniCocoon and Cocoon objects with custom seeds and RNGs (where StdRng is used under the hood). Note: The issue does NOT affect objects created with Cocoon::new which utilizes ThreadRng. Cause: StdRng produces the same nonce because StdRng::clone resets its state. Measure: Make encryption API mutable (encrypt, wrap, and dump). Workaround: Create a new cocoon object with a new seed per each encryption. How to Reproduce Workaround For cocoon <= 0.3.3, create a new cocoon with a different seed per each encrypt/wrap/dump call.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.4.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
