1password: Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input

CVE-2024-42219 is a high-severity improper validation of unsafe equivalence in input vulnerability in 1password, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 8.10.36 as the first without the flaw, so updating 1password to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

The underlying weakness: Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input

The product receives an input value that is used as a resource identifier or other type of reference, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input is equivalent to a potentially-unsafe value.
