Summary
opencryptoki vulnerabilities
Details
It was discovered that primitive decoders in openCryptoki produced integer underflows when the encoded length was zero. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger out-of-bounds reads. (CVE-2026-40253)
It was discovered that openCryptoki incorrectly handled symlinks. An attacker in the token-group could possibly use this issue to achieve privilege escalation or access sensitive information. (CVE-2026-23893)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
