CVE-2018-11069

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.9)—

RSA BSAFE SSL-J versions prior to 6.2.4 contain a Covert Timing Channel vulnerability during RSA decryption, also known as a Bleichenbacher attack on RSA decryption. A remote attacker may be able to recover a RSA key.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Base score: 5.9

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.28%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 69
Score date: 10/5/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
