contents In this paper we introduce a rank $2$ lattice over a polynomial ring arising from the public key of the BIKE cryptosystem. The secret key is a sparse vector in this lattice. We study properties of this lattice and generalize the recovery of weak keys from "Weak keys for the quasi-cyclic MDPC public key encryption scheme". In particular, we show that they implicitly solved a shortest vector problem in the lattice we constructed. Rather than finding only a shortest vector, we obtain a reduced basis of the lattice which makes it possible to check for more weak keys.
