Hardcoded Master Key Enables Local Decryption of LOGO! Soft Comfort Project Files

A vulnerability has been identified in LOGO! Soft Comfort (All versions < V9). Affected products use a static, hardcoded AES master key to encrypt project files. This could allow a local attacker to extract the master key from the application files or memory and use it to decrypt project files or remove project passwords entirely without knowing the actual user-defined password.

A vulnerability has been identified in LOGO! Soft Comfort (All versions < V9). The project password feature in the affected products stores the password as an unsalted SHA-256 hash. This could allow an attacker who has obtained the project file to perform efficient offline dictionary or brute-force attacks against the unsalted hash.
