CVE-2026-44900

HIGH8.1EPSS 0.01%

epa4all-client has a VAU Signature bypass

Published: 5/8/2026Modified: 5/9/2026

Description

### Impact In SignedPublicKeysTrustValidatorImpl.isTrusted(), the ECDSA signature verification at line 45 discards the boolean return value of Signature.verify(). The method performs certificate chain validation, OCSP check, and signature algorithm setup, but never checks whether the signature actually matches. For any structurally valid signature, it returns true. ### Patches Patched in [#34](https://github.com/oviva-ag/epa4all-client/pull/34). ### Workarounds None. ### Resources - [MS-OVIVA-EPA4ALL-d76aec](https://www.machinespirits.com/advisory/d76aec/) ### Credits [Machine Spirits](https://machinespirits.com) ([email protected]) - Dr. rer. nat.
