The Encrypt Files feature in ConeXware PowerArchiver before 14.02.05 uses legacy ZIP encryption even if the AES 256-bit selection is chosen, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information via a known-plaintext attack.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and implementation of data confidentiality and integrity. Frequently these deal with the use of encoding techniques, encryption libraries, and hashing algorithms. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degradation of the quality data if they are not addressed.
