July 3, 2006

----

Summary:
TK8 Safe (www.tk8.com) is a password management application, which stores
authentication details (and other sensitive data) in encrypted local
folders. A number of issues have been discovered in version 3.0.5 of the
application that present a risk to the integrity and availability of stored
user data.

Business Impact:
Successful exploitation of the issues discovered could lead to system
unavailability, the overwriting of sensitive data, and unrestricted access
to sensitive data. Attacks against the application require limited technical
knowledge.

Affected products:
TK8 Safe v.3.0.5 Standard and Pro Editions.

----

Description:
TK8 Safe v.3.0.5 allows users to set encrypted data repositories with weak
or null passwords.

Remediation:

issue in a forthcoming release (expected delivery date October 2006).

Description:
It is possible for a malicious attacker to brute force the password(s) for
protected folder(s). No timeout functionality is instigated, meaning that
although it is impossible for a legitimate user to 'lock out' their account,

repeated attempts at directory access.
