Denial of Service in Cryptacular
CVE-2020-7226 · GHSA-x64g-4xx9-fh6x
- Affected
- Maven org.cryptacular:cryptacular < 1.1.4; >= 1.2.0, < 1.2.4
- Fixed in
- 1.1.41.2.4· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- CiphertextHeader.java in Cryptacular before 1.2.4, as used in Apereo CAS and other products, allows attackers to trigger excessive memory allocation during a decode operation, because the nonce array length associated with "new byte" may depend on untrusted input within the header of encoded data.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.2.4 or 1.1.4 by release line, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
