1) Improper Handling of Alternate Encoding (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-10050)

CWE-ID: CWE-173 - Improper Handling of Alternate Encoding

CVSSv4: 8.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of alternate encoding in DigestAuthentication.apply() when computing Digest authentication response hashes using ISO-8859-1 encoding. A remote attacker can use a password variant in which non-Latin-1 characters are replaced with '?' characters to bypass authentication.

Successful exploitation requires knowledge of the target username and a password containing characters outside the U+00FF range.
