Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Wibu-Systems CodeMeter (affected version unknown). It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a inadequate encryption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-326. The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Protocol encryption can be easily broken for CodeMeter (All versions prior to 6.90 are affected, including Version 6.90 or newer only if CodeMeter Runtime is running as server) and the server accepts external connections, which may allow an attacker to remotely communicate with the CodeMeter API.

The weakness was shared 09/08/2020 by Sharon Brizinov and Tal Keren with Claroty as ICSA-20-203-01 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at us-cert.cisa.gov. The vendor cooperated in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2020-14517. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1600 for this issue.
