lowCVSS 1.9Vulnerability

CVE-2026-50268

### Summary Configuring `encrypt:rsa:algorithm=OAEP` does not enable OAEP encryption. Due to an incorrect BouncyCastle transformation string, the `OAEP` setting selects PKCS#1 v1.5, which is the same algorithm as the `DEFAULT` setting. ### Impact Operators who configure `encrypt:rsa:algorithm=OAEP` to obtain CCA2-secure padding receive PKCS#1 v1.5 instead. Currently, `Decrypt()` is called only against operator-controlled configuration data, so no exploitable path exists, but any future code path that exposes a decryption oracle would be Bleichenbacher-vulnerable despite the `OAEP` setting. ### Migration note Existing `{cipher}` values produced under the broken `OAEP` setting were encrypted with PKCS#1 v1.5. The fix makes `OAEP` use actual OAEP padding, so those values will fail to decrypt after upgrading. Re-encrypt all affected `{cipher}` values after upgrading.
