CVE-2012-2742

19
FAUCET Score

CVE-2012-2742 describes a vulnerability in Revelation 0.4.13-2 and earlier, where the software only uses the first 32 characters of a password followed by zeros, significantly reducing password entropy. This weakness allows context-dependent attackers to more easily brute-force passwords and gain unauthorized access to keys. With a CVSS score of 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N), it indicates a network-exploitable vulnerability with low attack complexity, requiring no authentication, and potentially leading to partial confidentiality impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there publicly available Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB modules, despite significant community discussion with 10 mentions.
