Last modified
CVE-2007-5460 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.6/10 on the CVSS scale. Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1, as used in Windows Mobile 5.0, uses weak encryption (XOR obfuscation with a fixed key) when sending the user's PIN/Password over the USB connection from the host to the device, which might make it easier for attackers to decode a PIN/Password obtained by (1) sniffing or (2) spoofing the docking process.. EPSS estimates a 2.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
