CVE ID : CVE-2025-13470<\/p>\n
Published : Nov. 21, 2025, 5:05 p.m. | 10\u00a0minutes ago<\/p>\n
Description : In RNP version 0.18.0 a refactoring regression causes the symmetric
\nsession key used for Public-Key Encrypted Session Key (PKESK) packets to
\n be left uninitialized except for zeroing, resulting in it always being
\nan all-zero byte array.<\/p>\n
Any data encrypted using public-key encryption
\nin this release can be decrypted trivially by supplying an all-zero
\nsession key, fully compromising confidentiality.<\/p>\n
The vulnerability affects only public key encryption (PKESK packets).\u00a0 Passphrase-based encryption (SKESK packets) is not affected.<\/p>\n
Root cause: Vulnerable session key buffer used in PKESK packet generation.<\/p>\n
The defect was introduced in commit `7bd9a8dc356aae756b40755be76d36205b6b161a` where initialization
\nlogic inside `encrypted_build_skesk()` only randomized the key for the
\nSKESK path and omitted it for the PKESK path.<\/p>\n
Severity: 7.7 | HIGH<\/p>\n
