The encryption mechanism used in Eaton's EasySoft project file was insecure and susceptible to brute force attacks, an attacker with access to this file and the local host
machine could potentially read the sensitive information stored and tamper with the project file. This security issue has been fixed in the latest version of Eaton EasySoft which is available on the Eaton download centre.
Eaton easySoft software is used to program easy controllers and displays for configuring, programming and defining parameters for all the intelligent relays. This software has a password protection functionality to secure the project file from unauthorized access. This password was being stored insecurely and could be retrieved by skilled adversaries.
