issue, an unauthenticated attacker needs to send highly specific, malformed ciphertexts to the target server. These payloads are used to interact with the private key of the server in a way that the vulnerable, non-constant time code paths are triggered during the verification step. An attack typically requires sending a large volume of these requests to perform statistical analysis on the resulting timing variations, increasing its complexity.\nThe primary security impact of this vulnerability is the potential leakage of private keys associated with the FrodoKEM implementation. This can compromise encrypted communications or authentication mechanisms.", "threat_severity": "Important"}

BC\u2011JAVA core modules arises from non\u2011constant time comparisons performed during FrodoKEM operations in the FrodoEngine.Java files. The flaw, categorized as CWE\u2011385, allows an adversary to extract private key material by measuring execution timings, thereby breaking the confidentiality of encrypted communications. The vulnerability is associated with the FrodoEngine.Java files and is confined to the core implementation of the FrodoKEM key\u2011encapsulation mechanism.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 8.9 denotes a high severity weakness. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation at the time of this analysis, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The nature of the flaw suggests that an attacker who can conduct precise timing measurements of the comparison routine could recover private keys. The likely attack vector is a side\u2011channel attack that requires the attacker to trigger or observe FrodoKEM comparisons, which may be feasible in environments where the application is exposed to an active network or on shared hosting platforms that permit timing analysis."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-15T13:49:14.858865+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-21T23:30:02.874123+00:00", "vendors": ["bouncycastle", "bouncycastle$PRODUCT$bc-java"]}
