Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Revelation versions 0.4.13-2 and earlier

Description The issue reduces the entropy of passwords, making it easier for attackers to crack them via a brute-force attack, as it only considers the first 32 characters of a password followed by zeros.

Recommendations For versions 0.4.13-2 and earlier, consider using alternative password management methods until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive keys and data to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
