[Security] Potential Insecure Use of Key as IV in Encryption Function

Open kexinoh opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

Description

While reviewing the antSword-shells/jsp_custom_script_for_oracle.jsp file, a security concern has been identified at line 414. The code in question may be exploitable if not handled correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Access the antSword-shells/jsp_custom_script_for_oracle.jsp file in the repository.
  2. Navigate to line 414 to review the code in question.

Expected Behavior

The encryption function should use a unique and unpredictable IV (Initialization Vector) for each encryption operation to ensure the security of the encrypted data.

Actual Behavior

The encryption function is using a static key as an IV, which can be exploited to potentially break the encryption.

Impact

Using a static IV can lead to serious security vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to perform various attacks.

Suggested Solution

It is recommended to generate a new, random IV for each encryption operation and ensure it is transmitted along with the encrypted data, if necessary. This would align with best practices for secure encryption.

Additional Information

The file in question is located at: antSword-shells/jsp_custom_script_for_oracle.jsp#L414
