OpenSSL before 1.0.0c, when J-PAKE is enabled, does not properly validate the public parameters in the J-PAKE protocol, which allows remote attackers to bypass the need for knowledge of the shared secret, and successfully authenticate, by sending crafted values in each round of the protocol.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old OpenSSL authentication-bypass flaw in the optional J-PAKE feature. If a system used vulnerable OpenSSL with J-PAKE enabled, an attacker could authenticate without knowing the shared secret. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems or embedded products still carrying OpenSSL before 1.0.0c. Likely limited to legacy OpenSSL deployments before 1.0.0c where J-PAKE is enabled or bundled in dependent products. Generic OpenSSL use without J-PAKE is not shown as affected in the provided sources. Prioritize if legacy OpenSSL and J-PAKE are present in authentication paths. Otherwise, treat as a targeted legacy exposure requiring inventory confirmation rather than broad emergency action. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.0c or later where applicable.; Check vendor advisories for product-specific packages and backports.; Disable J-PAKE where it is not required..
