Official description
Imprivata EAM <=26.2.6 lacks the ability to rotate its RSA key pair after deployment when generating an X.509 certificate. Using an RSA key pair indefinitely for certificate generation is against best practices.

The underlying weakness: Inadequate Encryption Strength
The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use an encryption scheme that is currently considered to be strong by experts in the field.
