CVE-2020-11005 describes a vulnerability in the WindowsHello open-source library (HaemmerElectronics.SeppPenner.WindowsHello) prior to version 1.0.4, where encrypted data could be decrypted without re-authentication. Specifically, if the library encrypted text to a file, another executable could use the NCryptDecrypt method to access it without requiring Windows Hello authentication. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.5) has a local attack vector with low complexity, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
