Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Pyplate version 0.08
Description
The issue concerns a file permission setting in Pyplate that allows local users to access sensitive information. Specifically, the
create passwd file.py script sets world-readable permissions for the passwd.db file, which contains the administrator password. This setting enables local users to read the file and obtain the administrator password.Recommendations
For Pyplate version 0.08, consider changing the permissions of the
passwd.db file to restrict access and prevent local users from reading it. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the create passwd file.py script until a proper fix is applied.Exploitability
