Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the relying party to be using the intra-handshake attested TLS (aTLS) verification path against an Intel TDX deployment target on cocos version 0.8.2 or earlier; AMD SEV-SNP and other attestation paths are not implicated by this specific reportData-check defect. The attacker must be able to supply the TDX QuoteV4 Evidence during the handshake - i.e., act as the attesting counterparty or relay a previously captured/foreign quote - since the flaw is that the verifier accepts any structurally valid quote without matching REPORT_DATA to the expected session reportData. Limiting factors: it only affects the TDX branch of aTLS, requires a structurally valid TDX quote to be presented, and is fixed by upgrading to v0.9.0; recommended hardening (strict attestation policies validating all report fields, mutual aTLS with CA-signed certs) further constrains it.

Impact

This is a genuine high-priority attestation-integrity flaw, not a CVSS-inflated non-issue, but the vendor's 9.1 slightly overstates ease of exploitation. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H) correctly captures that this is a network-reachable, unauthenticated defeat of a security control - the core value proposition of confidential computing (proving you are talking to the genuine TEE). The bug is a fail-open verification defect: the Intel TDX aTLS path never copies the expected per-session reportData into the quote-body policy, so REPORT_DATA freshness/binding is simply never checked, meaning ANY structurally valid TDX QuoteV4 (including a reused or relayed one) is accepted. However, realistic exploitation requires the attacker to possess a valid TDX quote and to be positioned as the attestation counterparty/relay in the handshake, which argues for AC:H rather than AC:L. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active exploitation - the risk is architectural/theoretical at time of analysis. Note a key data conflict: the linked v0.9.0 release notes describe a DIFFERENT CVE (CVE-2026-33697, relay via extracted ephemeral TLS keys, CVSS 7.5, GHSA-vfgg-mvxx-mgg7), whereas this CVE (CVE-2026-92701) is the reportData-check omission under GHSA-4px3-wj2x-xx47; both are fixed in the same v0.9.0 release but should not be conflated.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker positioned as (or relaying to) the attestation counterparty presents a client/relying party using the intra-handshake Intel TDX aTLS path with a structurally valid but stale or foreign TDX QuoteV4 whose REPORT_DATA does not match the current session. Because the verifier never loads the expected session reportData into the quote policy, the mismatched evidence is accepted and the relying party releases application data to an unintended attestation context. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, and there is no confirmation of active exploitation.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 18, 2026

Ultraviolet CoCoS through version 0.8.2 contains a session-misbinding flaw in the intra-handshake attested TLS (aTLS) verification path for Intel TDX: the verifier fails to copy the expected current-session freshness value into the TDX quote-body policy before quote validation, so any structurally valid TDX QuoteV4 Evidence is accepted without checking that its REPORT_DATA field matches the reportData expected for that session. An unauthenticated remote counterparty (CVSS vector AV:N/PR:N) that can supply or relay such a quote - acting as the attesting party or replaying a previously captured or foreign quote - can therefore cause a relying party to release application data bound to an unintended attestation context, giving high confidentiality and integrity impact. No public exploit code and no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation were identified at time of analysis, and the vendor's 9.1 score (AV:N/AC:L) slightly overstates ease of exploitation versus our assessed CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, since a valid TDX quote and use of the affected TDX aTLS branch are prerequisites. The issue is fixed in version 0.9.0.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to CoCoS v0.9.0, in which the TDX aTLS verification path correctly populates the quote-body policy with the expected current-session reportData so REPORT_DATA freshness is enforced; the same release adds post-handshake aTLS binding (PR #582) and a refactored attestation/aTLS subsystem (PR #562). Users on any version between v0.4.0 and v0.8.2 should upgrade immediately per https://github.com/ultravioletrs/cocos/security/advisories/GHSA-4px3-wj2x-xx47 and the v0.9.0 release notes at https://github.com/ultravioletrs/cocos/releases/tag/v0.9.0. If upgrading cannot be done at once, compensating controls with their trade-offs are: stop using the intra-handshake aTLS TDX verification path and validate aTLS out-of-band (post-handshake binding or an external verifier that independently compares the quote's REPORT_DATA against the session reportData) - this restores the missing check but changes the handshake/data-release flow and requires application changes; restrict network reachability of TDX aTLS endpoints to known clients so an attacker cannot easily act as or relay the attesting counterparty - this reduces the attack surface but does not fix the logic error and offers no protection against an on-path relay; enforce strict attestation policies that validate all available report fields (firmware versions, TCB levels, platform configuration registers) and enable mutual aTLS with CA-signed certificates where the deployment permits - these constrain what a mismatched quote can achieve but are hardening, not a substitute for the patch; and keep TEE firmware and microcode current to reduce the adjacent key-extraction surface described in the companion advisory. Note that, per available data, no patch exists in the 0.8.x line itself - remediation is the 0.9.0 upgrade plus the controls above.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CoCoS (Confidential Computing Suite) implements attested TLS (aTLS), in which a remote attestation report is embedded in the TLS handshake so that a relying party only releases data to a verified confidential-computing workload. On Intel TDX targets, attestation is carried as TDX QuoteV4 Evidence, a signed structure whose REPORT_DATA field is the 64-byte slot used to bind the quote to a caller-supplied value - in aTLS, the freshly generated session-specific reportData (a nonce/freshness value) that proves the quote belongs to this handshake and not to a replayed prior one. The defect (CWE-346, Origin Validation Error) is that the intra-handshake verification path never copies that expected current-session reportData into the quote-body policy before invoking quote validation, so the quote is checked for structural validity and signature but the freshness binding step is skipped; REPORT_DATA is effectively unconstrained. The result is a quote-body policy that validates origin-independent evidence, allowing a mismatched or reused reportData to pass and the relying party to complete the handshake and release application data into an unintended attestation context. This is distinct from the relay-attack class addressed elsewhere in the same release cycle (referenced as CVE-2026-33697 / GHSA-vfgg-mvxx-mgg7, CVSS 7.5), which involved binding between evidence and the TLS channel rather than reportData freshness checking; the v0.9.0 release addresses both, via post-handshake aTLS binding (PR #582) and a refactor of the attestation and aTLS subsystems (PR #562).

DescriptionCVE.org

trusted execution environments. In versions up to and including 0.8.2, the intra-handshake attested TLS (aTLS) Intel TDX verification path does not copy the expected current-session freshness value into the TDX quote-body policy before quote validation, so structurally valid TDX QuoteV4 Evidence is accepted without checking that its REPORT_DATA field matches the reportData expected for the current session. A relying party using this path can therefore accept Evidence with a mismatched or reused reportData and release application data after the handshake, enabling session-misbinding to an unintended attestation context. The issue is fixed in version 0.9.0.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Ultraviolet CoCoS deployments through 0.8.2 that rely on Intel TDX attested TLS can accept a session-verification result from an unintended attestation context, allowing a remote unauthenticated party to obtain or alter application data that should have been bound to a specific trusted session. This undermines the confidential-computing trust boundary for affected relying parties and could expose sensitive workloads or corrupt attestation-dependent decisions. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but because no vendor patch is available, leadership should treat any production use of the affected aTLS path as a high-risk exposure requiring immediate containment.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified; interim mitigations include disabling or restricting the affected Intel TDX aTLS verification path, allow-listing trusted attestation peers, independently validating TDX QuoteV4 REPORT_DATA against the expected session reportData, segmenting networks, limiting sensitive data release over affected sessions, and monitoring for replayed or unexpected attestation quotes.
