## What is CVE-2024-45374?

CVE-2024-45374 is a medium-severity vulnerability in goTenna Pro ATAK Plugin, published on 26 Sep 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The goTenna Pro ATAK plugin uses a weak password for sharing encryption 
keys via the key broadcast method. If the broadcasted encryption key is 
captured over RF, and password is cracked via brute force attack, it is 
possible to decrypt it and use it to decrypt all future and past 
messages sent via encrypted broadcast with that particular key. This 
only applies when the key is broadcasted over RF. This is an optional 
feature, so it is advised to use local QR encryption key sharing for 
additional security on this and previous versions.

Weakness: CWE-922 (Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information), CWE-521 (Weak Password Requirements)

Check this codebase for CVE-2024-45374 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-45374 is a medium-severity vulnerability in goTenna Pro ATAK Plugin, published on 26 Sep 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-45374 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: goTenna Pro ATAK Plugin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
