CROSS implementation contains reference and optimized implementations of the CROSS post-quantum signature algorithm.
Published May 8, 2026 · corrected/updated Jun 17, 2026 · cross-crypto cross-implementation · evidence confidence medium
CROSS implementation contains reference and optimized implementations of the CROSS post-quantum signature algorithm. Prior to commit fc6b7e7, there is a buffer overflow in crypto_sign_open() caused by an underflow of the integer mlen. This issue has been patched via commit fc6b7e7.
Grounded briefings
Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.
Executive
CVE-2026-41509 is a medium public vulnerability record for cross-crypto cross-implementation. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.
System administrator
Identify whether cross-crypto cross-implementation is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: cross-crypto/cross-implementation. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.
Security analyst
Signals on file: CVSS 6.9. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Weakness classes: CWE-121, CWE-122. Sources contributing to this record: cve_org, nvd.
