CVE-2001-0597
HighSummary
Zetetic Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP) version 0.5 and earlier for PalmOS allows a local attacker to recover passwords via a brute force attack. This is made feasible by STRIP's use of SysRandom, seeded by TimeGetTicks, and an implementation flaw that significantly reduces the password search space.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can easily recover passwords, leading to potential breaches of user data security. Organizations using this application may be at risk of confidential information theft.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update to a newer version of STRIP that addresses this vulnerability or to use alternative password management tools. Additionally, consider implementing stronger security mechanisms for stored passwords.

In the RingRTC library before 2.72.0 for Signal, a peer that saturates a call's FSM queue can interfere with the ability of a local hangup to tear the call (with its audio and perhaps also video track) down.
- CVE-2026-77936Critical
Letta through 0.16.8 ships a compose.yaml that does not enable LETTA_SERVER_SECURE, so the password middleware is never added and all API routes are unauthenticated, and it exposes a superuser PostgreSQL port with default credentials. Remote attackers can execute arbitrary Python via POST /v1/tools/run, manage /v1/admin users, or run OS commands via COPY PROGRAM.
- CVE-2026-77933Critical
DB-GPT through 0.8.2 contains a hardcoded credentials vulnerability in its default docker-compose.yml that sets a static MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD and publishes port 3306 on all interfaces. Attackers reaching port 3306 or the shared dbgptnet network can authenticate as root@% to gain full database access including FILE and SUPER privileges.
- CVE-2026-77932Critical
DB-GPT through 0.8.2 contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability because the /api/v1/chat/react-agent endpoint relies on a mock get_user_from_headers function that grants every caller the admin role. Unauthenticated attackers can send prompts that make the ReAct agent's unsandboxed code_interpreter and shell_interpreter tools run arbitrary Python or bash as root in the webserver container, including reaching the bundled database with default credentials.
- CVE-2026-75128Critical
Langchain-Chatchat through 0.3.1.3 exposes a POST /tools/call API endpoint that invokes any registered tool by name without authentication, leaving the always-registered shell tool callable. Remote attackers can send a single request naming the shell tool to execute arbitrary OS commands as the server user (root in the shipped Docker image).
Original NVD description (English source)
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'.
