CVE-2026-22699: SM2-PKE has Unchecked AffinePoint Decoding (unwrap) in decrypt()

January 9, 2026 (updated January 11, 2026)

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the SM2 PKE decryption path where an invalid elliptic-curve point (C1) is decoded and the resulting value is unwrapped without checking. Specifically, AffinePoint::from_encoded_point(&encoded_c1) may return a None/CtOption::None when the supplied coordinates are syntactically valid but do not lie on the SM2 curve. The calling code previously used .unwrap(), causing a panic when presented with such input.
