Status: ModifiedMedium (4.6)—💥 Exploit

The Razor configuration management tool uses weak encryption for its password file, which allows local users to gain privileges.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 4.6

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.52%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 42
Score date: 10/7/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.

      "comment": "Subsequent releases of Razor address this issue and utilize a more robust encryption mechanism for the Razor password. If you are under maintenance, you have the option of upgrading to a more recent release of Razor at no cost.  If you are not under maintenance and want to upgrade then you will need to contact Jennifer Stone at jstone@visible.com.\n\nSome additional notes ...\n\n- With version 4.1 and above, administrators of Razor may switch and use the local OS authentication instead of Razor’s authentication method.\n\n- OS permissions and protections always apply to the artifacts stored in the database.\n\n- This notice applies to users that have already logged into the supporting system.  This primary means of defense is intact inspite of this particular vulnerability.\n\n- The next Razor release (due out in mid-2007) will allow remote UNIX clients to utilize SSH to authenticate the remote user.  More information on this release and others may be found on the Visible Systems web site:\n\nhttp://www.visible.com/Products/Razor\n\nPlease contact Visible Systems Corporation at 1-800-6-VISIBLE if you have additional questions.",
