{"id":"GHSA-rj29-j2g4-77q8","aliases":["CVE-2024-28864"],"title":"[TagAwareCipher] - Decryption Failure (Regex Match)","description":"### Impact\n\nVulnerability in **SecureProps** involves a regex failing to detect tags during decryption of encrypted data. \n\nThis occurs when the encrypted data has been encoded with `NullEncoder` and passed to `TagAwareCipher`, and contains special characters such as `\\n`. As a result, the decryption process is skipped since the tags are not detected. This causes the encrypted data to be returned in plain format. \n\nThe vulnerability affects users who implement `TagAwareCipher` with any base cipher that has `NullEncoder` (not default).\n\n### Patches\n\nThe patch for the issue has been released. Users are advised to update to version **1.2.2**.\n\n### Workarounds\n\n**The main recommendation is to update to the latest version as there are no breaking changes.**\n\nIf that's not possible, you can use the default `Base64Encoder` with the base cipher decorated with `TagAwareCipher` to prevent special characters in the encrypted string from interfering with regex tag detection logic. \n\nThis workaround is safe but may involve double encoding since `TagAwareCipher` uses `Base64Encoder` by default.\n \n### References\n\nReported issue: https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props/issues/20\nPull request resolving bug: https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props/pull/21\n","severity":"low","score":2.6,"published":"2024-03-18T20:39:00.000Z","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:10.857Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"ilicmiljan/secure-props","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"1.2.0"},{"fixed":"1.2.2"}],"type":"ECOSYSTEM"}],"versions":["v1.2.0","v1.2.1"],"fixed":["1.2.2"]}],"references":["https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props/security/advisories/GHSA-rj29-j2g4-77q8","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-28864","https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props/issues/20","https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props/pull/21","https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props/commit/ab7b561040cd37fda3dbf9a6cab01fefcaa16627","https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props"],"sources":[{"name":"OSV","id":"GHSA-rj29-j2g4-77q8","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:10.857610862Z","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-rj29-j2g4-77q8"}],"assessments":[{"source":"OSV","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":2.6}]}
