Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Cryptographic Step due to missing validation in the key_share process during the TLS 1.3 HelloRetryRequest handshake. An attacker can compromise the confidentiality of encrypted communications by sending a crafted HelloRetryRequest followed by a ServerHello message that omits the required key_share extension, resulting in the derivation of predictable traffic secrets from the (EC)DHE shared secret.
