1) Padding oracle attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1563)

CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform padding oracle attack.

The vulnerability exists due to possibility to perform a Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack against the RSA key, in situations where an attacker receives automated notification of the success or failure of a decryption attempt an attacker. A remote attacker can send a very large number of messages to be decrypted, can recover a CMS/PKCS7 transported encryption key or decrypt any RSA encrypted message that was encrypted with the public RSA key.
