Description

Minosoft is an open-source, multi-version Minecraft Java Edition client written in Kotlin. Starting in commit f1ae30e2b046a490026a8413b075685deb795122, the CryptManager  encryption routine ( CryptManager.kt ) initializes its AES cipher using an initialization vector (IV) that is set equal to the secret key rather than to a sufficiently random value. Because the IV is not random and is derived directly from the key, the encryption is vulnerable to chosen-ciphertext/chosen-plaintext attacks: an attacker who can submit specific messages for encryption can recover the secret key. This affects all versions supporting Minecraft protocol 1.7 and later. No patched version is available, and no known workarounds are available.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity low, availability low.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L

  • Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
  • Attack complexity: High — the attacker first has to win a race, learn a secret or otherwise prepare the target.
  • Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
  • Integrity impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
  • Availability impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.

Weakness class

CVE-2024-56141 is classified as CWE-329: Generation of Predictable IV with CBC Mode. The product generates and uses a predictable initialization Vector (IV) with Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Mode, which causes algorithms to be susceptible to dictionary attacks when they are encrypted under the same key.
