CVE-2026-11347
Hardcoded Cryptographic Keys and Weak IV Generation in linqi
Description

The linqi application contains hardcoded cryptographic keys. Additionally, the application uses a weak algorithm with a limited ASCII charset to dynamically generate Initialization Vectors (IVs) for AES/CBC encryption, making known-plaintext attacks feasible. An attacker with local access can leverage these vulnerabilities to decrypt sensitive obfuscated strings, including ConnectionString values containing database credentials from appsettings.json.

CVSS Scores
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 4.0 HIGH 86c47df7-7d28-48da-920a-6423c52fd3da
CVSS 4.0 HIGH 86c47df7-7d28-48da-920a-6423c52fd3da
Solution
Remediate by removing hardcoded keys, using a strong algorithm, and generating secure IVs.
  • Remove hardcoded cryptographic keys.
  • Use a strong, industry-standard encryption algorithm.
  • Generate cryptographically secure random Initialization Vectors (IVs).
  • Review and secure sensitive configuration data.
