Description

Soroush IM Desktop App 0.17.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows local attackers to remove passcodes by injecting pre-encrypted database entries using a constant encryption key. Attackers can inject malicious database records into the application's database files to unlock the client and access all stored data, chats, images, and files without knowing the original passcode.
