Dyne · Tomb · CVE-2020-28638
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Tomb versions 2.0 through 2.7
**Description**
The issue arises when `ask password` in Tomb is used with `pinentry-curses` and the `$DISPLAY` variable is non-empty. This causes affected users' files to be encrypted with a specific warning message as the encryption key, potentially leading to security issues.
**Recommendations**
For Tomb versions 2.0 through 2.7, consider disabling the use of `pinentry-curses` when `$DISPLAY` is non-empty to prevent the misuse of the warning message as an encryption key. Restrict the `ask password` function to avoid encryption with the warning message until a proper fix is applied.
