Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-34986)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The issue is reachable through ParseEncrypted(), ParseEncryptedJSON(), or ParseEncryptedCompact() followed by Decrypt(), and applications are affected only if accepted key algorithms include key wrapping algorithms.
