FlaskBB through 2.2.0, fixed in commit a5da9a5, contains a logic flaw vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to delete all built-in authorization groups by exploiting a type mismatch in the bulk delete protection check. The bulk AJAX endpoint in the management views compares received JSON integer group IDs against string literals, causing the protection check to always pass, which allows deletion of all six built-in groups and destroys the forum's permission model, potentially rendering the site unusable.

wolfSSL's AVX2-optimized ML-KEM implementation (mlkem_cmp_avx2) compares only 1536 of the 1568 ciphertext bytes during the Fujisaki-Okamoto re-encryption check in ML-KEM-1024 decapsulation. Ciphertexts that differ from the expected re-encryption solely in bytes 1536-1567 bypass implicit rejection and are accepted as valid, breaking IND-CCA2 security. An attacker able to submit chosen ciphertexts to a decapsulation oracle that uses a static ML-KEM-1024 key, and to observe whether the genuine shared secret or the implicit-rejection secret was produced, can use this as a plaintext-checking oracle to recover the private key. A proof of concept recovered a full ML-KEM-1024 private key with approximately 98% success using roughly 350 chosen ciphertexts. The flaw is a deterministic logic error and does not rely on timing measurements.
