pymonocypher: Potential heap buffer overflow on nb_blocks in argon2i_32 when provided buffer is too small

Published Jul 9, 2026·Updated Jul 9, 2026

NVD Description

### Impact The argon2i_32 implementation does not check the nb_blocks size. If the caller does not provide a sufficiently large buffer based on the API contract, then argon2i_32 will write past the end of the buffer and possibly corrupt the heap. ### Patches Fixed in 4.0.2.8, which now verifies that nb_blocks is large enough. See [90ff5b1](https://github.com/jetperch/pymonocypher/commit/90ff5b13b13b5673c372e188f482d8c172e6ab86). ### Workarounds Provide a correctly sized nb_blocks buffer. pymonocypher thanks Haris (hextheshadow) for the vulnerability report, details, and recommended fix.
