Vulnerability Details
Technical details and impact analysis
The application is generating cryptographic keys or key pairs using a short and inadequate length.
This application is using the ECB (Electronic Codebook) mode of operation to perform encryption, which is considered semantically insecure.
Vulnerable File name :- curl_ntlm_core.c
Vulnerable line no. 274 :- err = CCCrypt(kCCEncrypt, kCCAlgorithmDES, kCCOptionECBMode, key,
## Impact
If a message with identical blocks is encrypted, an attacker get a certain advantage to have information on plaintext, by only observing CipherText.
