CVE-1999-1271

Summary

CVE-1999-1271 is a vulnerability affecting Macromedia Dreamweaver where the software uses weak encryption to store FTP passwords. This issue puts other users' passwords at risk if a local user gains unauthorized access to the system. The encryption is insufficient to protect the data, making it easier for attackers to decrypt the stored passwords. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to network security, particularly in environments where multiple users share the same system. It is recommended that users update their Dreamweaver software or implement additional security measures to protect their FTP passwords.
