Weak Encryption in PcVue User Configuration Allows Privilege Escalation

Executive Summary

The vulnerability involves the encryption algorithm used to protect the configuration of user accounts stored in the built-in user directory of PcVue projects in all versions prior to 17.0.0. This encryption is not strong enough to provide the required level of protection.

Because of this weak encryption, a local attacker could alter the existing configuration and ultimately gain privileged access to the PcVue application.
