CWE
  • 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
Summary
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.
