CVE-2015-0226: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm in Apache WSS4J

May 14, 2022 (updated February 19, 2025)

Apache WSS4J before 1.6.17 and 2.0.x before 2.0.2 improperly leaks information about decryption failures when decrypting an encrypted key or message data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to recover the plaintext form of a symmetric key via a series of crafted messages. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2487.
