Improper Initialization in OpenSSL - CVE-2026-45445

Vulnerability identifier: #VU134275

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 8.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45445

CWE-ID: CWE-665

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to forge arbitrary ciphertext.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization in the AES-OCB EVP_Cipher() one-shot path when processing AES-OCB operations through the public EVP_Cipher() interface. A local user can invoke the one-shot API on an AES-OCB context to forge arbitrary ciphertext.

Only applications that combine AES-OCB with the EVP_Cipher() one-shot API are affected; applications using the documented streaming AEAD API are not affected.
