VAR-200304-0127

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:24

The Cisco VPN 5000 Client for MacOS before 5.2.2 records the most recently used login password in plaintext when saving "Default Connection" settings, which could allow local users to gain privileges. The Cisco VPN 5000 Client on Mac OS saves configuration information for the default connection in the resource fork of the preferences file. Authentication credentials for the most recent login are included in the configuration. A tool such as ResEdit may be used to extract this information. Cisco Virtual Private Network (VPN) client program is a program used to securely communicate with enterprise CISCO VPN devices through the Internet. Can be used under a variety of operating systems, including MacOS X operating system. Local attackers can use this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information by viewing the configuration file. A local attacker can read password information stored in plain text by using a tool such as ResEdit. This problem exists even when the \"SaveSecrets\" option is used, or when encrypting passwords. CISCO designated this vulnerability number as: CSCdx17109
