Description:
A security issue has been reported in Swimage Encore, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the Swimage server using a hardcoded password to encrypt sensitive data contained within ".bin" files. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive information on a client machine e.g. by reading the content of ".bin" files from system memory.
NOTE: Reportedly, ".bin" files placed on bootable media created by Swimage are also encrypted with the default password and might lead to the exposure of sensitive information.
The security issue is reported in versions prior to 5.0.1.21. Other versions may also be affected.
