CVE-2001-0983 Detail
Deferred
This CVE record is not being prioritized for NVD enrichment efforts due to resource or other concerns. DescriptionUltraEdit uses weak encryption to record FTP passwords in the uedit32.ini file, which allows local users who can read the file to decrypt the passwords and gain privileges. Metrics
NVD enrichment efforts reference publicly available information to associate
vector strings. CVSS information contributed by other sources is also

Vendor Statements (disclaimer)Official Statement from UltraEdit (03/06/2012)We include an option, by design, that allows the user to *not* save the password, and instead enter the password on a per FTP session basis. This would provide the highest level of security. If the user decides to have UltraEdit save the FTP password in the INI, it is encrypted for the benefit of the user moving their settings from one system to another. However, even with the highest level of encryption of the saved password, if the user decides to save their password in the INI, there will always be a level of vulnerability as a result of the users decision to save the password.
