Vulnerability
https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis/blob/157d2b63ffa5c4bb1d8ee2254950fd2231de2b05/src/main/groovy/net/gleske/jervis/tools/SecurityIO.groovy#L463-L465

Uses PKCS1Encoding which is vulnerable to Bleichenbacher padding oracle attacks. Modern systems should use OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding).
Impact
Severity is considered low for internal uses of this library but if there's any consumer using these methods directly then this is considered critical.
An attacker with access to a decryption oracle (e.g., timing differences or error messages) could potentially decrypt ciphertext without knowing the private key.
Jervis uses RSA to encrypt AES keys in local-only storage inaccessible from the web. The data stored is GitHub App authentication tokens which will expire within one hour or less.
Patches
Jervis patch will migrate from PKCS1Encoding to OAEPEncoding.
Upgrade to Jervis 2.2.
Workarounds
None
References
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
