Description** DISPUTED ** Avira Free Antivirus through 15.0.2005.1866 allows local users to discover user credentials. The functions of the executable file Avira.PWM.NativeMessaging.exe are aimed at collecting credentials stored in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge. The executable does not verify the calling program and thus a request such as fetchChromePasswords or fetchCredentials will succeed. NOTE: some third parties have stated that this is "not a vulnerability."

Tavis Ormandy on Twitter: "I don't think anyone claims it's suspicious, they're saying that it's too easy to repurpose. It's a matter of opinion if that's a problem or not, but it's not a vulnerability and I think the CVE assignment will likely get withdrawn by MITRE.… https://t.co/YsDnk0tUyQ" MISC twitter.com Third Party Advisory
