CVE-2025-46833 Details
Description
Programs/P73_SimplePythonEncryption.py illustrates a simple Python encryption example using the RSA Algorithm. In versions prior to commit 6ce60b1, an attacker may be able to decrypt the data using brute force attacks and because of this the whole application can be impacted. This issue has been patched in commit 6ce60b1. A workaround involves increasing the key size, for RSA or DSA this is at least 2048 bits, for ECC this is at least 256 bits.
A vulnerability exists in the Python Simple Encryption Program in the file Programs/P73_SimplePythonEncryption.py, specifically in version 1.1 prior to the patch in version 1.2. The issue arises from the use of a weak cryptographic key, which allows an attacker to potentially decrypt data through brute force attacks, impacting the entire application.
Users can increase the key size to at least 2048 bits for RSA or DSA, and at least 256 bits for ECC. After applying this workaround, users should upgrade to version 1.2.
