Compromising sensitive information through Padding Oracle and Known Plaintext attacks in Encrypt-then-TLS scenarios

Daniel Espinoza Figueroa
Abstract

Let's consider a scenario where the server encrypts data using AES-CBC without authentication and then sends only the encrypted ciphertext through TLS (without IV). Then, having a padding oracle, we managed to recover the initialization vector and the sensitive data, doing a cybersecurity audit for a Chilean company.
