CVE-2026-73230
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 · uneditedEnte provides end-to-end encrypted cloud services and security tools. Prior to 2026.07.28, Ente 2of3 card format version 1 stored the secret byte length and 32-bit FNV-1a checksum in cleartext on every card, allowing someone with one card to test candidate secrets offline and recover low-entropy or predictable secrets. This issue is fixed in version 2026.07.28.
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 analysisThe application discloses data — error detail, internal paths, tokens, or other users' records — to someone who shouldn't see it. On its own it can look minor, but it hands attackers the map they need for a larger attack. Remediation is about minimising what's returned and enforcing authorization on every piece of data.

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 · scoped2026.07.28 or later
- 1. Identify the Ente installation or application using the 2of3 card format version 1
- 2. Check the current version of Ente installed
- 3. Update Ente to version 2026.07.28 or a later release that includes the fix
- 4. Verify the update was successful by confirming the version
Generated from the published advisory — verify against the referenced sources before acting.
There is no version to upgrade to and no patch to apply. Every affected install stays exposed until the vendor ships a fix — or somebody else builds one.
Free. We build fixes in the order the community asks for them — and we’ll tell you the moment this one lands.
We develop and verify an original fix where the vendor hasn’t, from $2,200. Deployed to your staging first — never straight to production.
