Last modified

CVE-2006-1378 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. PasswordSafe 3.0 beta, when running on Windows before XP, uses a weak random number generator (C++ rand function) during generation of the database encryption key, which makes it easier for attackers to decrypt the database and steal passwords by generating keys for all possible rand() seed values and conducting a known plaintext attack.. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
