CVE-2016-0923 describes a weakness in EMC RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite (MES) versions 4.0.x before 4.0.9 and 4.1.x before 4.1.5, where the client prioritizes weaker cryptographic algorithms in its signature-algorithm list. This design flaw allows remote attackers to more easily bypass cryptographic protections by exploiting servers that default to using the first algorithm presented. With a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5 (HIGH), this vulnerability has a network attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
