Secret-key recovery via key-derived AES IV
Published Jul 6, 2026 · Updated Jul 6, 2026
Predictable AES IV generation in Bixilon Minosoft for protocol 1.7 and later allows remote authenticated users to recover the secret key. The CryptManager.kt encryption routine passes key.encoded to IvParameterSpec, making the AES initialization vector identical to the secret key instead of unpredictable. Exploitation requires the ability to submit chosen messages for encryption; successful attacks disclose the secret key and compromise traffic protected by it.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
