CVE-2017-5999 (GCVE-0-2017-5999)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-03-06 06:11 – Updated: 2024-08-05 15:18
VLAI
Summary
An issue was discovered in sysPass 2.x before 2.1, in which an algorithm was never sufficiently reviewed by cryptographers. The fact that inc/SP/Core/Crypt.class is using the MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256() function (the 256-bit block version of Rijndael, not AES) instead of MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 (real AES) could help an attacker to create unknown havoc in the remote system.
