Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Vulnerability
https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis/blob/157d2b63ffa5c4bb1d8ee2254950fd2231de2b05/src/main/groovy/net/gleske/jervis/tools/SecurityIO.groovy#L463-L465
https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis/blob/157d2b63ffa5c4bb1d8ee2254950fd2231de2b05/src/main/groovy/net/gleske/jervis/tools/SecurityIO.groovy#L495-L497
Uses `PKCS1Encoding` which is vulnerable to Bleichenbacher padding oracle attacks. Modern systems should use OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding).
### Impact
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.
### Patches
Jervis patch will migrate from `PKCS1Encoding` to `OAEPEncoding`.
Upgrade to Jervis 2.2.
### Workarounds
None
