Possible error in 4.9.2 Testing for Padding Oracle #1080
Closed
Sacek073 closed 1 year ago
What's the issue? I think there is error on line 43 in the formula for calculating the number of blocks (
b = ceil( length(b) / n)
). https://github.com/OWASP/wstg/blob/2534bbfee762a87d42c7f91d301d10b086bd420e/document/4-Web_Application_Security_Testing/09-Testing_for_Weak_Cryptography/02-Testing_for_Padding_Oracle.md?plain=1#L43C1-L43C1How do we solve it? I think that the right formula should be:
b = ceil( length(p) / n)
, where p is the plaintext.Would you like to be assigned to this issue? Check the box if you will submit a PR to fix this issue. Please read CONTRIBUTING.md.
