AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Timing side-channel attacks in AWS-LC's AES-CCM decryption implementation allow unauthenticated attackers to infer authentication tag validity through precise timing measurements. The vulnerability affects AWS-LC and related cryptographic libraries across multiple AES-CCM variants (128, 192, and 256-bit), potentially enabling attackers to forge authenticated messages. AWS service customers are unaffected, but applications using AWS-LC directly should upgrade to version 1.69.0 or later.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Mar 12, 2026 - 21:55 CVSS 5.9

Observable timing discrepancy in AES-CCM decryption in AWS-LC allows an unauthenticated user to potentially determine authentication tag validity via timing analysis. The impacted implementations are through the EVP CIPHER API: EVP_aes_128_ccm, EVP_aes_192_ccm, and EVP_aes_256_ccm. [CVSS 5.9 MEDIUM]
