CVE-2026-107785: Crux Agent silently fails SKA preshared key rotation when SHA-512 peering is negotiated

Published Oct 9, 2026

Updated

Crux Agent from 1.9.0 before 2.0.3 uses the full SKA bilocation key as the WireGuard preshared key. When a peering session negotiates use of SHA-512, the key produced is 64 bytes instead of the 32 bytes WireGuard requires. The agent does not validate this size; instead it attempts to use the wg set command to update the live tunnel, and write the invalid key to the WireGuard configuration file. The update fails, so the live tunnel keeps using its previous preshared key until the tunnel is shut down. The tunnel will fail to start when restarted.

For a peer which has never successfully negotiated a 32-byte bilocation key in a Crux C2 organization which has the "Enforce SKA Use" setting turned off, no preshared key will be set for the tunnel. Therefore, an attacker who is able to intercept and store the peer's traffic, and has access (or will have access) to a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, will be able to decrypt the tunnel.

Affected Software

1 affected component
Crux Crux Agent>=1.9.0<2.0.3

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade Crux Agent to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 2.0.3
  2. Configuration

    Remove any custom settings for "Hash Function" in the agent configuration so the default SHA-256 hash function is used.

    Crux Agent Hash Function = SHA-256
