CVE-2026-34182 is an integrity-check validation vulnerability in OpenSSL CMS AuthEnvelopedData processing. Insufficient validation of cipher selection and authentication-tag length allows messages to specify a non-AEAD cipher or an AEAD tag truncated to one byte. An attacker can modify a captured AES-GCM message to use AES-256-OFB while preserving its recipient information, causing the recipient to unwrap the genuine content-encryption key and decrypt attacker-selected ciphertext without checking the MAC. CMS_decrypt() can consequently report success for unauthenticated content. Applications exposing decryption success or failure may additionally enable an oracle that provides content-encryption-key-equivalent functionality. One-byte authentication tags permit brute-force integrity bypass. OpenSSL FIPS modules are not affected.

OpenSSL accepts non-AEAD ciphers and excessively short authentication tags in CMS AuthEnvelopedData. An attacker with a captured legitimate message and suitable decryption feedback may obtain content-encryption-key-equivalent functionality. Reducing an AEAD tag to one byte also permits brute-force integrity bypass. FIPS modules are unaffected.
