Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value via the ProcessPacket decryption paths in CcmBlockCipher and KCcmBlockCipher. An attacker can recover decrypted ciphertext bytes by sending a forged CCM/KCCM message to an application that exposes the caller-supplied output buffer after decryption fails, such as through buffer reuse or logging. When the authentication tag check fails, the decrypted plaintext has already been written into that buffer, letting the attacker obtain plaintext from ciphertexts of their choosing and causing disclosure of data that the caller expected to discard on failure.
