Bouncy Castle Bug Puts Bcrypt Passwords at Risk
Phil Muncaster UK / EMEA News Reporter , Infosecurity Magazine
CVE-2020-28052 is an authentication bypass bug in the OpenBSDBcrypt class of the widely used Bouncy Castle library.
By exploiting it, attackers can effectively bypass password checks in applications using the Bcrypt algorithm for password hashing, explained Synopsys. Although attack complexity is rated high, so is the potential impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability, the vendor claimed.
“An attacker must brute force password attempts until the bypass is triggered. Our experiments show that 20% of tested passwords were successfully bypassed within 1000 attempts,” it explained.
“Some password hashes take more attempts, determined by how many bytes lie between 0 and 60 (1 to 59). Further, our investigation shows that all password hashes can be bypassed with enough attempts. In rare cases, some password hashes can be bypa
