Configuration disclosure via inadequate symmetric encryption
Published Apr 19, 2023 · Updated Feb 5, 2025
Inadequate encryption in Ubiquiti UID Enterprise Desktop for Windows 0.59.1.71 and earlier allows local users to decrypt configuration files. The application protects those files with improperly used symmetric encryption, making their ciphertext decryptable by users who can read them. Ubiquiti has not disclosed the affected file names, cipher, or key-handling error; exploitation requires local file access and exposes stored content.
