UpSignOn for Windows before 7.19.0 contains an insecure credential storage vulnerability that allows local attackers to retrieve the biometric unlock key stored in the Windows PasswordVault API without triggering any authentication prompt. Attackers can access the stored biometric key from a standard local process within the same Windows session to decrypt the protected vault files and export the entire password manager contents in cleartext.
AnalysisAI
Insecure credential storage in UpSignOn for Windows (before 7.19.0) exposes the biometric unlock key from the Windows PasswordVault API to any standard process running in the same user session, requiring no authentication prompt. An attacker with low-privilege local code execution can retrieve this key, decrypt the protected vault files on disk, and export the entire password manager contents in cleartext. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must have a process executing within the same Windows user session as the UpSignOn installation, with at least standard low-privilege access (PR:L per the CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N) accurately reflects the threat model: local, low-privilege, no complexity, no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade UpSignOn for Windows to version 7.19.0 or later; this is the vendor-confirmed fix documented in the release notes at https://upsignon.eu/en/resources/release-notes/app#7.19.0 and corroborated by the VulnCheck advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
