Verbatim Corporate Secure and Corporate Secure FIPS Edition USB flash drives validate passwords with a program running on the host computer rather than the device hardware, which allows physically proximate attackers to access the cleartext drive contents via a modified program.

Verbatim Corporate Secure and Corporate Secure FIPS Edition USB flash drives use a fixed 256-bit key for obtaining access to the cleartext drive contents, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to read or modify data by determining and providing this key.

Verbatim Corporate Secure and Corporate Secure FIPS Edition USB flash drives do not prevent password replay attacks, which allows physically proximate attackers to access the cleartext drive contents by providing a key that was captured in a USB data stream at an earlier time.
