CVE-2024-9040

Local password disclosure via cleartext file storage

Published Sep 20, 2024 · Updated Sep 20, 2024

Information disclosure in the Password Handler of Code Projects Blood Bank Management System 1.0 allows local users to read stored passwords. The handler stores passwords without encryption in a file or elsewhere on disk, but public records do not identify the file, function, or write path. Local access is required, and published assessments disagree on whether low or high privileges are needed; the consequence is limited to reading stored credentials.
