CVE-2019-13604
There is a short key vulnerability in HID Global DigitalPersona (formerly Crossmatch) U.are.U 4500 Fingerprint Reader v24.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.12%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
There is a short key vulnerability in HID Global DigitalPersona (formerly Crossmatch) U.are.U 4500 Fingerprint Reader v24. The key for obfuscating the fingerprint image is vulnerable to brute-force attacks. This allows an attacker to recover the key and decrypt that image using the key. Successful exploitation causes a sensitive biometric information leak.
