CVE-2007-2360 describes a vulnerability in several Symantec backup products, including Norton Ghost and BackupExec System Recovery, released before April 26, 2007. When configured for remote backups, these products encrypt network share credentials using a key derived from a hash of the username. This design flaw allows a local, authenticated user to calculate the encryption key and subsequently retrieve the stored network share credentials. With a CVSS score of 6.8, this vulnerability is rated as medium severity. It requires local access and user authentication (AV:L/Au:S) but has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:C/I:C/A:C) once exploited. The attack complexity is low (AC:L) as the key derivation method is predictable. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there publicly available exploit modules in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, indicating a low level of public attention. It is not listed on the CISA KEV catalog or any hot lists.
