CWE-780

• CWE ID
• 780

• CWE Name
• Use of RSA Algorithm without OAEP

• CWE Abstraction
• Variant

• CWE structure
• Simple

• CWE Status
• Incomplete

The software uses the RSA algorithm but does not incorporate Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP), which might weaken the encryption.

Padding schemes are often used with cryptographic algorithms to make the plaintext less predictable and complicate attack efforts. The OAEP scheme is often used with RSA to nullify the impact of predictable common text.
