DescriptionNVD
: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm vulnerability in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. BC-JAVA bcpkix on all (pkix modules).
PKIX draft CompositeVerifier accepts empty signature sequence as valid.
This issue affects BC-JAVA: from 1.49 before 1.84.
AnalysisAI
Signature verification bypass in Bouncy Castle BC-JAVA (bcpkix module versions 1.49-1.83) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to forge cryptographic signatures by submitting empty signature sequences that are incorrectly accepted as valid by the draft CompositeVerifier implementation. This critical flaw (CVSS 4.0: 10.0) enables complete subversion of digital signature trust chains, potentially allowing authentication bypass, code signing forgery, and man-in-the-middle attacks against Java ap

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all Java applications and systems using Bouncy Castle bcpkix module versions 1.49-1.83 (check Maven dependencies, build artifacts, and runtime classpath). Within 7 days: Contact Bouncy Castle maintainers to confirm patch availability timeline; establish a temporary signature validation bypass detection process and implement enhanced monitoring for suspicious certificate validation patterns. …
