02 Description

RustDesk Encrypts Local Passwords with World-Readable Machine ID and Fixed Zero Nonce (XSalsa20-Poly1305)

03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation
Public exploit code exists. CISA's assessment records a public proof of concept. That is not a report of exploitation in the wild.
SSVC decision
  • ExploitationpocPublic proof-of-concept exploit code exists. Not a report of exploitation in the wild.
  • AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
  • Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.
EPSS probability
0.08% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
EPSS percentile
Equal to or higher than the score of 0.3% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
NVD base score
8.2 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation

Use one-way hashing (Argon2id) for passwords. Use OS-native credential stores (DPAPI, Keychain, libsecret) for recoverable secrets. Apply proper KDF. Use random nonces.
