Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Multi-Remote Next Generation Connection Manager (mRemoteNG) is free software that enables users to store and manage multi-protocol connection configurations to remotely connect to systems. mRemoteNG configuration files can be stored in an encrypted state on disk. mRemoteNG version <= v1.76.20 and <= 1.77.3-dev loads configuration files in plain text into memory (after decrypting them if necessary) at application start-up, even if no connection has been established yet. This allows attackers to access contents of configuration files in plain text through a memory dump and thus compromise user credentials when no custom password encryption key has been set. This also bypasses the connection configuration file encryption setting by dumping already decrypted configurations from memory.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 1.76.20
Recommended fix Moderate confidence

mRemoteNG v1.77.3 or later (latest stable release)

  1. 1. Verify current mRemoteNG version by opening the application and navigating to Help > About
  2. 2. Download the latest stable version of mRemoteNG from the official GitHub releases page (github.com/mRemoteNG/mRemoteNG)
  3. 3. Backup existing connection configuration files (typically stored in %APPDATA%\mRemoteNG\)
  4. 4. Uninstall the current version of mRemoteNG
  5. 5. Install the latest stable version (v1.77.3 or later)
  6. 6. Restore configuration from backup if needed
  7. 7. Set a custom password encryption key in Tools > Options > Security to protect credentials
