CVE-2026-31790 is an information-disclosure vulnerability in OpenSSL RSA/RSASVE key encapsulation. The encapsulation implementation checks only whether RSA_public_encrypt() returns a nonzero value, incorrectly treating its -1 error return as success. Consequently, EVP_PKEY_encapsulate() can report success and set output lengths despite encryption failing, leaving stale or uninitialized data in the caller-provided ciphertext buffer. Applications that encapsulate using an attacker-supplied invalid RSA public key without validating it first may transmit this data to the attacker instead of a valid KEM ciphertext. Affected FIPS modules include those in OpenSSL branches 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.1, and 3.0.
