CVE-2025-68698: Jervis Has a RSA PKCS#1 Padding Vulnerability
(updated )
Severity is considered low for internal uses of this library but if there’s any consumer using these methods directly then this is considered critical.
An attacker with access to a decryption oracle (e.g., timing differences or error messages) could potentially decrypt ciphertext without knowing the private key.
Jervis uses RSA to encrypt AES keys in local-only storage inaccessible from the web. The data stored is GitHub App authentication tokens which will expire within one hour or less.
