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
Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm (DES) vulnerability in the Password class in C2SConnections.dll in Milner ImageDirector Capture on Windows allows Encryption Brute Forcing to obtain database credentials.This issue affects ImageDirector Capture: from 7.0.9.0 before 7.6.3.25808.

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 Password class in C2SConnections.dll in Milner ImageDirector Capture uses the broken DES cryptographic algorithm (56-bit key) to encrypt database credentials. DES is vulnerable to brute-force attacks due to its small key space, allowing attackers to decrypt stored credentials and gain unauthorized database access.

MitigationUpgrade ImageDirector Capture to version 7.6.3.25808 or later which implements stronger cryptographic algorithms. As a compensating control, rotate database credentials and restrict network access to the database server.

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. Check the installed version of Milner ImageDirector Capture
    Open the application or check Add/Remove Programs for the version number. If installed via installer, check the installation directory for version information.
    Affected if The installed version is >= 7.0.9 and < 7.6.3.25808
  2. Locate the C2SConnections.dll file
    Search the ImageDirector Capture installation directory (typically C:\Program Files\Milner or similar) for the file C2SConnections.dll.
    Affected if The file exists and the application uses it for database connections
  3. Verify database credentials are stored
    Check the application configuration files (such as config.xml, app.config, or database connection configuration files) in the installation directory for encrypted credential storage.
    Affected if Database credentials are stored encrypted in configuration files or a database local store
  4. Inspect the Password class encryption method
    If you have access to the DLL, examine the C2SConnections.dll for DES encryption usage, or check if the application logs indicate DES-based encryption for credentials.
    Affected if The Password class uses DES (56-bit) encryption for storing credentials
  5. Check if the database server is network-accessible
    Review network configuration to determine if the database server connected to by ImageDirector Capture is accessible from systems other than the local host.
    Affected if The database is accessible remotely, increasing the risk from decrypted credentials

A user is affected if ImageDirector Capture version is >= 7.0.9 and < 7.6.3.25808 and the application stores database credentials encrypted using the vulnerable Password class in C2SConnections.dll.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 7.6.3.25808 or later
Fixed in 7.6.3.25808
Interim mitigation

Upgrade ImageDirector Capture to version 7.6.3.25808 or later which implements stronger cryptographic algorithms. As a compensating control, rotate database credentials and restrict network access to the database server.

Recommended fix High confidence

ImageDirector Capture 7.6.3.25808 or later

  1. Identify current installed version of ImageDirector Capture
  2. If version is < 7.6.3.25808, plan upgrade to version 7.6.3.25808 or later
  3. Backup current installation and configuration data
  4. Download ImageDirector Capture version 7.6.3.25808 or later from the official vendor source
  5. Install the upgraded version following vendor documentation
  6. Verify the installation and confirm the version is 7.6.3.25808 or higher
  7. Test that the application functions correctly after upgrade
Caveat Review vendor release notes for any changes in functionality or configuration requirements between your current version and 7.6.3.25808
