Chacha20Poly1305 key-encryption algorithm discards the Poly1305 authentication tag, performing no authentication on decryption

Impact The experimental Chacha20Poly1305 key-encryption algorithm generates the 16-byte Poly1305 authentication tag during encryptKey but discards it: the tag is never written to the header and therefore never reaches the wire. On the receiving side, decryptKey calls...

CVE-2026-5479

In wolfSSL's EVP layer, the ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD decryption path in wolfSSLEVPCipherFinal and related EVP cipher finalization functions fails to verify the authentication tag before returning plaintext to the caller. When an application uses the EVP API to perform ChaCha20-Poly1305 decryption,...
