Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Krusader versions 1.50-beta1 through 1.70.0 store passwords for remote connections in cleartext in the bookmark file (krbookmarks.xml). Anyone with access to this file can read the passwords.

Risk Assessment

Update Krusader to a version newer than 1.70.0 if available, and secure the krbookmarks.xml file by restricting permissions and avoiding storing passwords in it.
