Summary

CVE-2023-27169 is a vulnerability affecting Xpand IT's Write-back manager version 2.3.1. The issue lies in the use of a hardcoded salt in license class configuration. As a result, symmetric encryption keys generated and validated by the system are predictable and hardcoded, posing a significant security risk. An attacker who gains access to this information could potentially decrypt and manipulate license data, leading to unauthorized system access or functionality disruption. Organizations using this version of Xpand IT's Write-back manager are recommended to upgrade to a patched version to mitigate this vulnerability.
