Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Mobatek MobaXterm up to 24.x. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the component AES. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a weak iv vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-1204. The product uses a cryptographic primitive that uses an Initialization Vector (IV), but the product does not generate IVs that are sufficiently unpredictable or unique according to the expected cryptographic requirements for that primitive. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

The vulnerability existed in the password storage of Mobateks MobaXterm below 25.0. MobaXTerm uses an initialization vector (IV) that is generated by encrypting null bytes with a derivate of the users master key. As both the master key is static, and AES ECB produces the same output with the same input the IV for AES CFB is always the same.The static IV makes it easier to obtain sensitive information and decrypt data if the data is stored at rest.

It is possible to read the advisory at cirosec.de. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2025-0714 since 01/24/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

Upgrading to version 25.0 eliminates this vulnerability.
