Description

OpenSkat contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to crack the encryption built into the game. The issue is due to the fact that the CheckGroup() function does not properly ensure that the variable "p" contains a number which is prime, leading to a weak cryptographic key. It is possible that the flaw may allow decryption of game information, resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
