Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-9230, is an out-of-bounds read and write issue occurring in the process of decrypting CMS messages encrypted using password-based encryption. Despite its moderate severity rating, a successful exploitation can lead to severe consequences such as system compromise, data leakage, or execution of attacker-supplied code. Systems using FIPS modules 3.0 to 3.5 are immune to this vulnerability as their CMS implementation is beyond the OpenSSL FIPS module’s boundary.<\/p>\n
