Streamsoft Prestiż: Weak Encoding for Password

CVE-2024-7407 is a high-severity weak encoding for password vulnerability in Streamsoft Prestiż from StreamSoft, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.2 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 18.2.377 as the first without the flaw, so updating Streamsoft Prestiż to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Use of a custom password encoding algorithm in Streamsoft Prestiż software allows straightforward decoding of passwords using their encoded forms, which are stored in the application's database. One has to know the encoding algorithm, but it can be deduced by observing how password are transformed. This issue was fixed in 18.2.377 version of the software.
