Overview
WebEOC uses weak cryptographic algorithms to encrypt sensitive information.
Description
WebEOC is a web-based crisis information management application that provides functions to gather, coordinate, and disseminate information between emergency personnel and Emergency Operations Centers (EOC). WebEOC uses weak algorithms to encrypt sensitive information. The prerequisite information and effort needed to crack the encryption depends on the algorithm being attacked. However, for a skilled attacker, compromising the crypto-system may still a trivial task. |
Impact
A remote attacker could recover or derive a private encryption keys, or apply simple cryptanalytic techniques to decipher an encrypted message. |
Solution
Upgrade Version 6.0.2 corrects this vulnerability. According to ESi: |
