CVE-2013-5960 describes a vulnerability in the OWASP Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) for Java 2.x before version 2.1.0.1, where the authenticated-encryption feature in its symmetric-encryption implementation fails to adequately resist tampering with serialized ciphertext. This flaw allows remote attackers to bypass cryptographic protection mechanisms, specifically targeting the intended cipher mode in non-default configurations. With a CVSS score of 5.8 (medium severity), this vulnerability has a network attack vector, medium attack complexity, and could lead to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
