Potential fix for https://github.com/HauntedMC/ProxyFeatures/security/code-scanning/1
In general, to fix this issue you should configure the RSA cipher to use OAEP padding rather than PKCS#1 v1.5 (or no padding). In Java, that means changing the transformation string from
"RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding"(or similar) to an OAEP-based transformation like"RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-256AndMGF1Padding"(or at least"RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-1AndMGF1Padding"), and then ensuring that the peer that encrypts the data uses the same OAEP parameters so decryption remains compatible.For this specific code, the minimal change that preserves behavior as much as possible while improving security is to update the
decryptmethod inVotifierServer.javato use an OAEP transformation. Since we only see decryption and no customAlgorithmParameterSpecbeing passed, the simplest and most interoperable improvement is to use the standard OAEP transformation string. For widest compatibility with existing Java-based senders that might switch to OAEP, we can use"RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-1AndMGF1Padding", which corresponds to Java’s default OAEP parameters and matches the example in the background description. No additional imports are needed because we are still usingjavax.crypto.Cipher. The only code change required in the shown snippet is to update the argument toCipher.getInstance(...)in thedecryptmethod.Concretely:
src/main/java/nl/hauntedmc/proxyfeatures/features/votifier/server/VotifierServer.java, locate thedecryptmethod."RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding"with"RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-1AndMGF1Padding".Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
