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-2001-1546 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2001-1546/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-1546/index.md)","id":"CVE-2001-1546","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-1546/index.md","name":"CVE-2001-1546","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pc4p-7w58-pgg2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Homecare management software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can recover user credentials from the configuration file due to weak encryption, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pathways_homecare","vendor":"mckesson"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-326","name":"Inadequate Encryption Strength"}],"description":"Pathways Homecare 6.5 uses weak encryption for user names and passwords, which allows local users to gain privileges by recovering the passwords from the pwhc.ini file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2001-12-07","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2001-12-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21173","stars":null,"title":"McKesson Pathways Homecare 6.5 - Weak 'Username' and Password Encryption"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1546","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2001"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1547"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1545"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-07-14","related":[],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can recover user credentials from the configuration file due to weak encryption, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-1546/"}
