EUVD-2026-91987

In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.86, the raw JCA provider's legacy PBES1 PKCS5 scheme 1 and PKCS12 PBE families ran their password-based key derivation with an iteration count taken from untrusted input without bounding it, so a small input could dictate an arbitrary amount of work before...

CVE-2026-97873 Legacy PBES1 and PKCS#12 PBE iteration count honoured unbounded in the raw JCA provider

In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.86, the raw JCA provider's legacy PBES1 PKCS5 scheme 1 and PKCS12 PBE families ran their password-based key derivation with an iteration count taken from untrusted input without bounding it, so a small input could dictate an arbitrary amount of work before...

CVE-2026-97873: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.86, the raw JCA provider's legacy PBES1 PKCS5 scheme 1 and PKCS12 PBE families ran their password-based key derivation with an iteration count taken from untrusted input without bounding it, so a small input could dictate an arbitrary amount of work before...

EUVD-2026-85364

Missing upper bound on the key derivation iteration count accepted during SCRAM authentication to a backend server in PgBouncer through 1.25.2 allows a malicious or compromised PostgreSQL backend to cause uncontrolled CPU consumption in PgBouncer. The resulting key derivation cannot be interrupte...

CVE-2026-6669 Unbounded SCRAM iteration count causes CPU exhaustion in PgBouncer

Missing upper bound on the key derivation iteration count accepted during SCRAM authentication to a backend server in PgBouncer through 1.25.2 allows a malicious or compromised PostgreSQL backend to cause uncontrolled CPU consumption in PgBouncer. The resulting key derivation cannot be interrupte...

CVE-2026-13586

A flaw was found in Bouncy Castle for Java. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service DoS by exploiting an iteration-count bound issue in the PKCS12 Message Authentication Code MAC and bag-decryption Key Derivation Function KDF. This could make the affected system...

jdbc.postgresql.org: pgjdbc: Client-side Denial of Service via malicious SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication

A flaw was found in pgjdbc, an open-source PostgreSQL JDBC Driver. A malicious server can exploit this vulnerability by instructing the driver to perform SCRAM-SHA-256 Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism Secure Hash Algorithm 256 authentication with an excessively large iteration...

CVE-2026-59647

A flaw was found in Bouncy Castle for Java. The Certificate Request Message Format CRMF and Certificate Management Protocol CMP password-based Message Authentication Code MAC implementation allows for an unbounded iteration count. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted...

GHSA-5X78-73V4-XG6W postgres-protocol: Unbounded SCRAM iteration count allows a malicious server to cause CPU-exhaustion denial of service

A malicious, compromised, or man-in-the-middle server can supply an arbitrarily large SCRAM-SHA-256 PBKDF2 iteration count during authentication. The client runs it inline with no upper bound, pinning a tokio worker thread for minutes per connection, possibly stalling the whole async runtime...

GO-2026-6168 WITHDRAWN: Unbounded iteration count causes CPU denial of service in github.com/lib/pq/scram

This report has been withdrawn with reason: "Report mistakenly added without having CVE / GHSA associated". The SCRAM client in github.com/lib/pq/scram accepts an attacker-controlled iteration count with no upper bound and immediately performs that many PBKDF2-style HMAC rounds. A PostgreSQL...

CVE-2026-14672

Observable response discrepancy in PostgreSQL SCRAM authentication allows an unauthenticated user to test the existence of a user via observing the SCRAM iteration count. This requires the probed user to have a non-default scramiterations count, because the authentication challenge for a...
