CVE-2019-9149 (GCVE-0-2019-9149)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-07-09 20:45 – Updated: 2024-08-04 21:38
VLAI
Summary
Mailvelope prior to 3.3.0 allows private key operations without user interaction via its client-API. By modifying an URL parameter in Mailvelope, an attacker is able to sign (and encrypt) arbitrary messages with Mailvelope, assuming the private key password is cached. A second vulnerability allows an attacker to decrypt an arbitrary message when the GnuPG backend is used in Mailvelope.
Severity
