Description:
Kozan has discovered a security issue in Einstein, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The problem is that user credentials are stored in plain text in a world-readable key in the registry.
The world-readable file "wallet.dat" also contains submitted credit card information in plain text.
The security issues have been confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.
