Description
electerm is an open-sourced terminal/ssh/sftp/telnet/serialport/RDP/VNC/Spice/ftp client. Prior to 3.9.5, deterministic AES-192-CBC with a fixed zero IV, constant KDF salt, and no MAC leads to confidentiality and integrity failures for synced bookmark/profile data. Attackers can crack common passwords across installs and perform undetected ciphertext bit-flips to alter config/bookmarks. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.9.5.
Problem types
CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
CWE-329: Generation of Predictable IV with CBC Mode
CWE-353: Missing Support for Integrity Check
CWE-759: Use of a One-Way Hash without a Salt
CWE-916: Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort
