Technical details

PcVue projects utilize a built-in user directory to store account configurations. Due to the use of an inadequate encryption strength (CWE-326) for protecting these configurations, the security of the user directory is compromised. A local attacker with low privileges can access and alter the stored configuration files. By manipulating these files, the attacker can escalate their privileges to an administrative level within the PcVue application. This vulnerability affects all versions of PcVue prior to 17.0.0; users are advised to upgrade to version 17.0.0 or later to remediate the issue.
