Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in mRemoteNG up to 1.76.20/1.77.3-dev. Affected is some unknown processing of the component Configuration File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cleartext storage in memory vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-316. The product stores sensitive information in cleartext in memory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

mRemoteNG configuration files can be stored in an encrypted state on disk. mRemoteNG version <= v1.76.20 and <= 1.77.3-dev loads configuration files in plain text into memory at application start-up, even if no connection has been established yet. This allows attackers to access contents of configuration files in plain text through a memory dump and thus compromise user credentials when no custom password encryption key has been set. This also bypasses the connection configuration file encryption setting by dumping already decrypted configurations from memory.

The weakness was disclosed 07/27/2023 as 2420. The advisory is available at secuvera.de. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2023-30367 since 04/07/2023. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1555 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.
