Maven Central does not yet list a published 1.84 version for this package. See repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on. Therefore, we can't be sure whether a future 1.84 version would fix the vulnerability.

bcprov-jdk15onas proposed here. This is the legacy, unmaintained predecessor tobcprov-jdk15to18andbcprov-jdk18onthat was split into those two artifacts. As of now, Maven Central has no published 1.84 version for this package (see repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on), so no fix version can be set.Also had to patch the CVSS vector as it was malformed.
