One finding shows PKCS#1 v1.5 padding offers no protection once an attacker controls roughly half the signed block, affecting signing interfaces such as HSMs, and the agents cut CPU time for an earlier forgery attack 3.5-fold. The attacks only affect obsolete 1024-bit systems, according to DeepMind, while 2048-bit or larger keys remain secure.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["research","security"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.securityweek.com/google-deepminds-ai-agents-make-1024-bit-rsa-keys-cheaper-to-attack/","publishedAt":"2026-11-09T08:35:50.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedPackageNames":null,"affectedPackageRefs":null,"affectedVendors":["Google"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Google DeepMind","Google Cloud"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-5-5","classifierPromptVersion":"v4","summaryPromptVersion":"v2","headline":null,"headlinePromptVersion":null,"cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"epssCheckedAt":null,"kevDateAdded":null,"advisoryAliases":null,"affectedPackagesSource":null,"affectedPackagesCheckedAt":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-11-09T08:35:50.000Z","fixReleasedAt":null,"daysToFix":null,"fixCheckedAt":null,"capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["confidentiality"],"aiComponentTargeted":null,"llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.8,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
