Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Contacts with security groups provide timely information on broken or risky cryptographic algorithms, reducing the likelihood of their selection and use.
Ongoing education and sharing of recommended practices helps organizations identify and migrate away from broken or risky cryptographic algorithms.
Cross-organization threat feeds commonly include advances in cryptanalysis and active exploits against weak or broken algorithms, allowing organizations to deprecate them proactively.
Capital planning and funding allow selection and ongoing support of strong cryptographic algorithms rather than weak or broken ones.
Risk updates surface newly-broken or risky cryptographic algorithms as threat intelligence and computing advances evolve, enabling timely replacement.
Scanners flag use of broken or weak cryptographic algorithms via known-vulnerability databases.
Enforces approved cryptographic algorithms for each use case, blocking use of broken or risky algorithms.
Flaw remediation replaces broken or risky cryptographic algorithms once safer implementations are released by vendors.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Directly enables brute-force cracking of weak DES-encrypted credentials to recover database passwords.
NVD Description
Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm (DES) vulnerability in the Password class in C2SConnections.dll in Milner ImageDirector Capture on Windows allows Encryption Brute Forcing to obtain database credentials.This issue affects ImageDirector Capture: from 7.0.9.0 before 7.6.3.25808.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-58743 is a Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm vulnerability involving DES in the Password class within C2SConnections.dll of Milner ImageDirector Capture on Windows. This flaw enables encryption brute forcing to obtain database credentials and affects ImageDirector Capture versions from 7.0.9.0 before 7.6.3.25808. The issue is classified under CWE-327 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating high confidentiality impact.
A remote attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability without authentication, privileges, or user interaction due to low attack complexity. Successful exploitation allows brute forcing the weak DES encryption to recover database credentials, potentially enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the database.
Mitigation details are available in advisories at https://sra.io/advisories. Vulnerable installations should be upgraded to ImageDirector Capture version 7.6.3.25808 or later to address the issue.
