CVE-2024-34538Network attack vector

Unauthenticated disclosure via undisclosed weak cryptography

Published May 6, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Weak cryptography in MATESO GmbH Password Safe 8.13.9.26689 and earlier allows remote attackers to read protected information. Neither the CVE record nor its sole technical reference identifies the affected cryptographic component, the weak algorithm or generator, or how attacker input reaches it. The published assessment requires no authentication or user interaction and limits the reported consequence to confidentiality loss.
