🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Intermediate byte arrays holding raw AES key material remained in heap memory after key derivation and wrapping.
🎯 Impact: Sensitive key material could linger in heap memory until garbage collection, potentially exposed via heap dumps.
πŸ”§ Fix: Immediately zero out intermediate key byte arrays using Arrays.fill(..., (byte) 0) after passing them to SecretKeySpec or cipher operations.
βœ… Verification: Ran full test suite across all modules with mvn test (all 355+ tests pass).
