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
The DVC from TRCore encrypts files using a hardcoded key. Attackers can use this key to decrypt the files and restore the original content.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The DVC product from TRCore implements file encryption using a hardcoded cryptographic key embedded in the software. An attacker who obtains encrypted files or gains access to the system can use this known key to decrypt the content and restore original files.

MitigationReplace the hardcoded encryption key with proper cryptographic key management (e.g., key derivation from user-provided credentials, secure key storage, or hardware security module), and re-encrypt all previously protected files using the new key management system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify DVC installation and version
    Locate the Trcore Dvc installation directory and check the product version (typically via 'dvc --version', a version file, or binary metadata).
    Affected if Version is >= 6.0 and < 6.4, placing it within the vulnerable range.
  2. Verify encryption feature usage
    Determine whether file encryption functionality has been used. Check for encrypted files (unusual file extensions, encrypted-looking content) or configuration indicating encryption is enabled.
    Affected if The encryption feature has been used to protect any files.
  3. Locate the hardcoded key in the binary or config
    Inspect the DVC executable or associated configuration files for the presence of a static encryption key. Use strings, binary analysis, or config inspection tools to search for cryptographic key material.
    Affected if A hardcoded/static encryption key is found embedded in the software.
  4. Check for file decryption capability
    Verify if encrypted files can be decrypted using the known embedded key. Attempt a test decryption or review logs for successful decryption operations.
    Affected if Files can be decrypted using a hardcoded key rather than user-supplied credentials.

You are affected if Trcore Dvc version 6.0 through below 6.4 is installed and the encryption feature has been used, with a hardcoded key present in the software.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.4 or later
Fixed in 6.4
Interim mitigation

Replace the hardcoded encryption key with proper cryptographic key management (e.g., key derivation from user-provided credentials, secure key storage, or hardware security module), and re-encrypt all previously protected files using the new key management system.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

6.4

  1. 1. Backup all encrypted data and configuration files before upgrading.
  2. 2. Verify the current installed version by checking the application documentation or running the version command if available.
  3. 3. Obtain DVC version 6.4 or later from the official TRCore source or authorized distributor.
  4. 4. Install the new version following the vendor's installation instructions.
  5. 5. After upgrade, regenerate cryptographic keys for sensitive operations if the product supports key rotation.
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade was successful and the hardcoded key vulnerability is addressed.
