CVE-2006-1116 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The CBC-MAC integrity functions in the nCipher nCore API before 2.18 transmit the initialization vector IV as part of a message when the implementation uses a non-zero IV, which allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks and modify messages without being detected.. EPSS estimates a 1.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
