CVE-2026-82356

7.5

Imprivata · Imprivata Enterprise Access Management

Imprivata Enterprise Access Management fails to rotate RSA key pairs after deployment, resulting in the indefinite use of static cryptographic keys for X.509 certificate generation.

Executive summary

Imprivata Enterprise Access Management contains a cryptographic weakness that allows for the indefinite use of static RSA keys, potentially facilitating long-term unauthorized access to encrypted data.

Vulnerability

This vulnerability involves inadequate encryption strength and the use of risky cryptographic algorithms (CWE-326, CWE-327) because the application fails to rotate RSA key pairs. An unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this static key usage to compromise the confidentiality of encrypted communications.

Business impact

The reliance on static RSA keys undermines the security posture of the enterprise authentication infrastructure. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this high-severity flaw exposes the organization to significant risks regarding data confidentiality, as static keys provide a persistent target for decryption efforts. Compromise of these keys could lead to widespread unauthorized access and a complete breakdown of trust in the identity management system.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Consult the official Imprivata knowledge base entry (https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/273940) to determine if a vendor-provided patch or configuration workaround is available for your specific deployment.

Proactive Monitoring: Review system logs for unusual certificate request patterns or cryptographic errors that may indicate an attempt to leverage compromised key material.

Compensating Controls: Implement strict network segmentation and egress filtering to limit the potential impact if the cryptographic layer is successfully bypassed.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: No (exploit_available: false)

Analyst recommendation

Given the high severity of this cryptographic vulnerability, administrators must prioritize the assessment of their Imprivata environment. Organizations should verify their current version and coordinate with vendor support to implement proper key rotation mechanisms as soon as a fix is released. Failure to address this flaw leaves the core authentication infrastructure vulnerable to long-term cryptographic analysis and potential data exposure.
