Summary
Steeltoe: OAEP setting silently selects PKCS#1 v1.5 padding
Details

Summary

Configuring encrypt:rsa:algorithm=OAEP does not enable OAEP encryption. Due to an incorrect BouncyCastle transformation string, the OAEP setting selects PKCS#1 v1.5, which is the same algorithm as the DEFAULT setting.

Impact

Operators who configure encrypt:rsa:algorithm=OAEP to obtain CCA2-secure padding receive PKCS#1 v1.5 instead. Currently, Decrypt() is called only against operator-controlled configuration data, so no exploitable path exists, but any future code path that exposes a decryption oracle would be Bleichenbacher-vulnerable despite the OAEP setting.

Migration note

Existing {cipher} values produced under the broken OAEP setting were encrypted with PKCS#1 v1.5. The fix makes OAEP use actual OAEP padding, so those values will fail to decrypt after upgrading. Re-encrypt all affected {cipher} values after upgrading.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Avoid storing passwords in easily accessible locations.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Consider storing cryptographic hashes of passwords as an alternative to storing in plaintext.

Mitigation

A programmer might attempt to remedy the password management problem by obscuring the password with an encoding function, such as base 64 encoding, but this effort does not adequately protect the password because the encoding can be detected and decoded easily.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
