🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Vulnerability
https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis/blob/157d2b63ffa5c4bb1d8ee2254950fd2231de2b05/src/main/groovy/net/gleske/jervis/tools/SecurityIO.groovy#L869-L870
https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis/blob/157d2b63ffa5c4bb1d8ee2254950fd2231de2b05/src/main/groovy/net/gleske/jervis/tools/SecurityIO.groovy#L894-L895
The salt is derived from sha256Sum(passphrase). Two encryption operations with the same password will have the same derived key.
Impact
Pre-computation attacks.
Severity is considered low for internal uses of this library and high for consumers of this library.
Patches
Jervis will generate a random salt for each password and store it alongside the ciphertext.
Upgrade to Jervis 2.2.
Workarounds
None
