Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2015-0886 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the crypt_raw method in the key-stretching implementation in jBCrypt before 0.4 makes it easier for remote attackers to determine cleartext values of password hashes via a brute-force attack against hashes associated with the maximum exponent.. EPSS estimates a 4.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
