Description
Super Productivity is an advanced todo list app with integrated timeboxing and time tracking capabilities. From 17.3.0 until 18.13.1, the SuperSync end-to-end encryption setup calls sync(true) before a user sets an encryption password, causing the operation-upload path to transmit and store all user operations in plaintext. The exposed operations can include private task content and connected issue-provider credentials, including reusable passwords, API tokens, and app passwords. Users who complete E2EE setup have the plaintext operations deleted, while users who leave the password-setting step can leave the data stored indefinitely. The Disable SuperSync action did not remove plaintext that had already been uploaded. Routing and causal metadata remain plaintext by design and are not part of this vulnerability. This issue is fixed in version 18.13.1.

Impact

Super Productivity’s SuperSync end‑to‑end encryption setup triggers a sync before the user establishes an encryption password, resulting in the transmission and storage of all user operations in plaintext. These operations can include private task content and credentials such as passwords, API tokens, and app passwords. When a password is set, the application deletes the plaintext uploads; however, if the user stops before setting a password, the data remains stored permanently.

Affected Systems

Versions of Super Productivity from 17.3.0 through 18.13.1 are affected when the SuperSync setup is initiated. The issue originates from the super‑productivity application and does not impact other vendors or products.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.7 indicates moderate severity. An EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited known exploitation. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is local access to the device or observation of the sync operation before a password is assigned. With persistent storage of the plaintext data, an attacker who obtains device access could recover sensitive information that remains until the user manually removes it or updates the application.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Super Productivity to version 18.13.1 or later, which removes the vulnerable sync behavior during E2EE setup.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, set an encryption password during the SuperSync setup to trigger the deletion of any stored plaintext operations.
  • If a password cannot be set, manually delete any stored plaintext data from the application’s local storage to eliminate indefinite persistence.
