Allocation of resources without limits or throttling vulnerability in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. BC-JAVA bcpg on all (pg modules).This issue affects BC-JAVA: before 1.84.
Unbounded PGP AEAD chunk size leads to pre-auth resource exhaustion.
AnalysisAI
Pre-authentication resource exhaustion in Bouncy Castle BC-JAVA PGP modules (bcpg) allows remote attackers to trigger denial-of-service by exploiting unbounded AEAD chunk sizes, affecting all versions before 1.84. The maximum CVSS 4.0 score of 10.0 reflects complete compromise potential across confidentiality, integrity, and availability with no attack complexity, no authentication requirements, and network-based exploitation. …
