Last week, I finally finished my writeup of a vulnerability based on a misuse of #Cryptography that we found a while back in a penetration test. It's my favorite vulnerability so far, as it relies on abusing basic properties of unauthenticated encryption and shows, in a real-world scenario, how such seemingly theoretical issues can compromise an entire system. In the end, it's a teachable moment about both cryptography and secure software architecture.
I had the draft lying around for more than a year, but reading the articles by @soatok finally reminded me that I should really wrap this up and post it. So, here it is: https://blog.maass.xyz/encryption-isnt-enough-compromising-a-payment-processor-using-math
