Hardcoded Cryptographic Keys and Weak IV Generation in linqi
Summary
| CVE | CVE-2026-11347 |
|---|---|
| State | PUBLISHED |
| Assigner | linqi |
| Source Priority | CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback |

| 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. |
