Modified

Severity

6.0 (Medium) CVSS_V4 - CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N CVSS Calculator

Summary

electerm's encrypt method not safe enough

Details

Impact

Insecure sync encryption: 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.
