Description
Araxis Merge for Windows version 2011.4074 through 2026.0 stores user-configured credentials for remote servers in the Windows registry and does not apply sufficient cryptographic protection. An authenticated, non-administrative attacker could retrieve and unencrypt all credentials the target user has stored in Merge.
