Summary
The default configuration of Java 1.5 on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 contains a jurisdiction policy that limits Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) key sizes to 128 bits, which makes it easier for attackers to decrypt ciphertext produced by JCE.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
1.39% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 72% of all scored CVEs.
