MediumSummary
Decode, DecodeChain, DecodeTrustStore, and ToPEM can incorrectly accept PKCS#12 files which were encoded with the wrong password, due to a failure to reject excessively-short PBMAC1 keys. Users who decode PKCS#12 files from untrusted sources and rely on the password for authentication can be affected.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can supply a PKCS#12 file with a wrong password that is accepted, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data integrity issues.
Recommendation
Update the library to a patched version and ensure PKCS#12 files from untrusted sources are properly validated.
