6DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Cryptomator encrypts data being stored on cloud infrastructure. Prior to version 1.19.1, the Hub-based unlock flow explicitly supports hub+http and consumes Hub endpoints from vault metadata without enforcing HTTPS. As a result, a vault configuration can drive OAuth and key-loading traffic over plaintext HTTP or other insecure endpoint combinations. An active network attacker can tamper with or observe this traffic. Even when the vault key is encrypted for the device, bearer tokens and endpoint-level trust decisions are still exposed to downgrade and interception. This issue has been patched in version 1.19.1.
AnalysisAI
Cryptomator's Hub-based unlock flow contains a protocol downgrade vulnerability that allows the application to communicate with Hub endpoints over plaintext HTTP instead of enforcing HTTPS. Cryptomator versions prior to 1.19.1 are affected, exposing OAuth bearer tokens, key-loading traffic, and endpoint-level trust decisions to network interception and tampering by active attackers. This is a verified GitHub security advisory with patches available in version 1.19.1, though no EPSS score or KEV listing indicates limited evidence of active exploitation.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability affects Cryptomator (cpe:2.3:a:cryptomator:cryptomator:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), an open-source client-side encryption tool for cloud storage. The issue is classified as CWE-319 (Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information), where the Hub-based authentication flow explicitly supports the hub+http URI scheme and consumes Hub endpoint configurations from vault metadata without validating that connections use HTTPS. During the OAuth authentication and cryptographic key retrieval process, sensitive bearer tokens and encrypted vault keys transit the network. While vault keys themselves remain encrypted for the device, the OAuth tokens and the ability to manipulate endpoint trust decisions create opportunities for credential theft and man-in-the-middle attacks when connections are downgraded to HTTP or other insecure protocols.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Cryptomator to version 1.19.1 or later, which patches the vulnerability by enforcing HTTPS for all Hub endpoint communications and rejecting insecure URI schemes in vault metadata. The patched release is available at https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/releases/tag/1.19.1 with full release notes. Until upgrading is possible, implement network-level controls to prevent HTTP connections to Hub endpoints by configuring firewall rules that block outbound HTTP traffic from Cryptomator processes, enforce HTTPS-only connections through a corporate proxy with SSL inspection, and educate users not to open vault configurations from untrusted sources. Organizations should audit existing vault metadata files to ensure all Hub endpoint URLs use https:// schemes exclusively.
