CVE-2026-11347 linqi GmbH CVE debrief
CVE-2026-11347 is a HIGH-severity vulnerability in the linqi application. The application contains hardcoded cryptographic keys and uses a weak algorithm with a limited ASCII charset to dynamically generate Initialization Vectors (IVs) for AES/CBC encryption. This makes known-plaintext attacks feasible, allowing an attacker with local access to decrypt sensitive obfuscated strings, including ConnectionString values containing database credentials from appsettings.json.

Who should care
Users of the linqi application, especially those with local access, should be aware of this vulnerability and take immediate action to mitigate it.
Technical summary
The linqi application contains hardcoded cryptographic keys. Additionally, the application uses a weak algorithm with a limited ASCII charset to dynamically generate Initialization Vectors (IVs) for AES/CBC encryption, making known-plaintext attacks feasible. An attacker with local access can leverage these vulnerabilities to decrypt sensitive obfuscated strings, including ConnectionString values containing database credentials from appsettings.json.
Defensive priority
HIGH
Recommended defensive actions
- Update the linqi application to use secure cryptographic practices, including randomly generated cryptographic keys and secure IV generation.
- Implement additional security measures to protect sensitive data, such as database credentials.
