**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** SimpleSAMLphp versions 1.14.x through 1.14.11 **Description** The issue makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the encryption protection mechanism by leveraging the use of the first 16 bytes of the `secret key` as the initialization vector (IV) in the `aesEncrypt` method. **Recommendations** For SimpleSAMLphp versions 1.14.x through 1.14.11, consider modifying the `aesEncrypt` method in `lib/SimpleSAML/Utils/Crypto.php` to use a secure initialization vector (IV) instead of the first 16 bytes of the `secret key`. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the `aesEncrypt` method until a patch is available.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Lenovo Accelerator Application (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code by spoofing an update response from the `susapi.lenovomm.com` API endpoint. This is due to a flaw in the UpdateAgent component. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
