Database encryption-key disclosure via hard-coded keystore password
Published May 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Hard-coded credentials in Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator before 5.10 Service Pack 1 Update 2 allow local users to obtain its database encryption key. A fixed password protects orion.keystore, so an administrator who reads the access-controlled file can unlock the stored ePO database encryption key. Exploitation requires system-administrator access to the ePO server; the published record establishes no access for lower-privileged or remote users.
