Protected-data exposure via hard-coded encoding maps
Published Jul 31, 2024 · Updated Jul 31, 2024
Cryptographic weakness in PheonixAppAPI before 0.2.4 allows local users to read or alter protected data through exposed encoding maps. The package exposes reusable encoding and decoding maps directly in its source code, making the mapping material available to anyone who can inspect the installed files. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access, and the resulting impact is limited to the confidentiality and integrity of data protected with those maps.
