CVE-2021-23827
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
Keybase Desktop Client antes de la versión 5.6.0 en Windows y macOS, y antes de la 5.6.1 en Linux, permite a un atacante obtener medios potencialmente sensibles (como fotos privadas) en los directorios Cache y uploadtemps. No consigue borrar eficazmente las imágenes almacenadas en la caché, ni siquiera después de haberlas borrado mediante la metodología normal dentro del cliente, o utilizando la funcionalidad "Explotar mensaje/Explotar ahora". El atacante necesita acceso al sistema de archivos local.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Puntuación base: 5.5
