AI-suggested
A fixed version 2.7.0 or later of Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp addresses this issue. Until then, avoid processing untrusted CMS EnvelopedData messages with vulnerable versions.
Description
A vulnerability in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp before version 2.7.0 allows an attacker to recover the content-encryption key from a captured CMS EnvelopedData message. This is due to an observable difference in error messages during RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 key-transport unwrap, enabling a Bleichenbacher-style adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack.
