Summary

In epa4all, prior to version 2026-05-20, an attacker who can intercept the TLS connection between epa4all and the ePA backend can complete the VAU handshake with attacker-controlled keys and obtain the session encryption keys.

The attacker can also inject arbitrary requests through the hijacked channel. This issue has been patched in version 2026-05-20.
