| Package Name | Ecosystem | Vulnerable Versions | First Patched Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| illuminate/encryption | composer | >= 5.5.0, < 5.5.40 | 5.5.40 |
| illuminate/encryption | composer | >= 5.6.0, < 5.6.15 | 5.6.15 |
The vulnerability stems from insufficient IV validation in the validPayload method. The patch added a critical check for IV length compatibility with the cipher algorithm. Prior versions would accept any IV that was base64 decodable, regardless of its actual length after decoding. This weakness in cryptographic validation (CWE-1240) made decryption susceptible to manipulated payloads, particularly when applications used loose comparisons (==) with the decryption result.
