Impact
The vulnerability resides in the Desktop Authentication Middleware component of Presenton prior to version 0.9.11-beta. A flaw in handling the /app_data file permits an attacker to read sensitive configuration or credential data. This leads to information disclosure that can undermine the confidentiality of the system. The weakness corresponds to CWE-200 and CWE-284 due to improper access control.
Affected Systems
Affected products are Presenton's Desktop Authentication Middleware, version 0.9.11-beta and earlier. The vendor released a fix in v0.9.12-beta that addresses the issue. The patch commit hash is 44c8a61122b21f17642d717b0c4d6f2c54c0f180. Users of any version before 0.9.12-beta are directly impacted.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a medium severity. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting it has not yet been widely exploited in the wild. However, the attack can be launched remotely and the exploit has already been publicly disclosed, raising the likelihood that a determined attacker could target vulnerable installations. The impact is limited to confidentiality loss; there is no evidence of impact to integrity or availability.
