An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2013-7463 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- aescrypt (RubyGems): affected all versions up to 1.0.0; no fix listed\n- aescrypt (RubyGems): affected all versions up to 1.0.0; no fix listed\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-2013-7463/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-7463/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-7463","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-7463/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-7463","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4c4w-3q45-hp9j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby encryption library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The aescrypt gem fails to randomize initialization vectors, allowing attackers to defeat cryptographic protections via chosen plaintext attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"aescrypt","vendor":"aescrypt_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-330","name":"Use of Insufficiently Random Values"}],"description":"The aescrypt gem 1.0.0 for Ruby does not randomize the CBC IV for use with the AESCrypt.encrypt and AESCrypt.decrypt functions, which allows attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a chosen plaintext attack.","ecosystems":["RubyGems"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Aescrypt does not sufficiently use random values","id":"CVE-2013-7463","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2013"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7464"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.0.0"],"package":"aescrypt","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4c4w-3q45-hp9j"},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.0.0"],"package":"aescrypt","purl":"pkg:gem/aescrypt","source":"GHSA-4c4w-3q45-hp9j"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in SaaS Control Console (SCC) Platform","id":"CVE-2013-7462"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-19","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"The aescrypt gem fails to randomize initialization vectors, allowing attackers to defeat cryptographic protections via chosen plaintext attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-7463/"}
