It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-1543 exists.\n\nAffected product: Apple Macos. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1543/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1543/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1543","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1543/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1543","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4cvf-99qg-vwq4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS operating system","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Weak encryption in macOS password storage allows attackers with local access to recover user credentials.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"macos","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"MacOS uses weak encryption for passwords that are stored in the Users \u0026 Groups Data File.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-07-10","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-07-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19417","stars":null,"title":"Apple Mac OS 8 8.6 - Weak Password Encryption"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1543","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:macos","products":["apple:macos"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1544"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1542"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apple macOS Improper Authentication","id":"CVE-2026-65400","kev_date_added":"2026-08-18","published":"2026-08-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in macOS","id":"CVE-2024-44146","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in macOS","id":"CVE-2024-44148","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in macOS","id":"CVE-2023-38586","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in macOS","id":"CVE-2023-40455","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in macOS","id":"CVE-2026-84520","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Weak encryption in macOS password storage allows attackers with local access to recover user credentials.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1543/"}
