What is CVE-2024-39342?
CVE-2024-39342 is a medium-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 23 Sep 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Entrust Instant Financial Issuance (formerly known as Cardwizard) 6.10.0, 6.9.0, 6.9.1, 6.9.2, and 6.8.x and earlier uses a DLL library (i.e. DCG.Security.dll) with a custom AES encryption process that relies on static hard-coded key values. These keys are not uniquely generated per installation of the software. Combined with the encrypted password that can be obtained from "WebAPI.cfg.xml" in CVE-2024-39341, the decryption is trivial and can lead to privilege escalation on the Windows host.
Weakness: CWE-269
