CVE-2024-47256

Backup decryption via hardcoded AES passphrase

Published Feb 6, 2025 · Updated Jan 9, 2026

Cryptographic key exposure in 2N Access Commander 1.14 and earlier allows local users with admin access to read an AES passphrase. The affected release stores the AES passphrase as a hardcoded value, but 2N has not disclosed the code or file from which it is read. Administrator privileges are required, and the exposed passphrase enables decryption of certain data within Access Commander backup files.
