CVE-2026-77696
Issue summary: SM2 signature generation uses non-constant-time arithmetic on secret values, forming a timing side-channel.
Impact summary: An attacker able to measure SM2 signing times may learn information about the per-signature secret nonce, which over many signatures can, via a lattice / Hidden Number Problem attack, lead to recovery of the private key.
CWE: CWE-208: Observable Timing Discrepancy
Description: SM2 signature generation computes the signature value using variable-time BIGNUM operations on the secret nonce and the private key, so the time taken to produce an SM2 signature depends on these secret values, forming a timing side-channel.

Applications performing SM2 signature generation are affected on all platforms.
FIPS Impact: no SM2 is not a FIPS algorithm.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- Puntuación base: 3.7
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.24%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 14
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
