CVE-2001-0597: Zetetic Enterprises Strip

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Zetetic Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP) 0.5 and earlier for the PalmOS allows a local attacker to recover passwords via a brute force attack. This attack is made feasible by STRIP's use of SysRandom, which is seeded by TimeGetTicks, and an implementation flaw which vastly reduces the password 'search space'.

Affected products

• Zetetic Enterprises Strip: up to and including 0.5; version 0.3 only; version 0.4 only
