CVE-2026-115408 Details
Description
In `github.com/eclipse-keypont/crypto11/v2` versions `>= 2.0.0-rc3, <= 2.0.0-rc8`, the ML-KEM key-pair lookup functions (`FindMLKEMKeyPair`, `FindMLKEMKeyPairs`, `FindMLKEMKeyPairsWithAttributes`) locate the public half of an ML-KEM key pair by `CKA_ID`/`CKA_LABEL` and never verify it against the private key. In addition, the "ID only" fallback search runs even when the private key has no `CKA_ID`, so the search template reduces to the public-key class and the ML-KEM key type and the first ML-KEM public key on the token is returned. `Encapsulate()` on the resulting key pair encrypts the fresh shared secret to that key, so its owner — not the holder of the private key the caller looked up — can recover the secret. An attacker who can open an unauthenticated session on the token and plant a public `CKK_ML_KEM` object carrying the victim's `CKA_ID`/`CKA_LABEL` receives the shared secrets for encapsulations performed through the substituted key pair, compromising the confidentiality of those secrets and of everything protected by keys derived from them. The v1 module paths have no ML-KEM support and are not affected.
A vulnerability exists in Eclipse KeyPont Crypto11 library, specifically in the ML-KEM key-pair lookup functions of version 2.0.0-rc3 prior to 2.0.0-rc8. These functions locate the public half of an ML-KEM key pair using CKA_ID or CKA_LABEL, but fail to verify it against the private key. Additionally, an 'ID only' fallback search is conducted even when the private key lacks a CKA_ID, resulting in the first ML-KEM public key on the token being returned. This vulnerability allows an attacker to intercept shared secrets encrypted with the public key, compromising the confidentiality of those secrets and anything protected by keys derived from them.
Users are advised to upgrade to Eclipse KeyPont Crypto11 version 2.0.0-rc9, where this vulnerability has been fixed. In version 2.0.0-rc9, the ML-KEM key lookup functions verify the public key against the private key before use, and the 'ID only' fallback search has been removed.
