Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SanDisk Secure Access version 3.01

Description The issue arises when SanDisk Secure Access 3.01 decrypts and copies encrypted files to a temporary folder. In certain situations, such as when a file is being edited and the user exits the application, or if the application crashes, these decrypted files can remain in the temporary folder indefinitely.

Recommendations For SanDisk Secure Access version 3.01, consider implementing a mechanism to securely delete temporary files after use, especially when the application is exited or crashes, to prevent potential unauthorized access to sensitive information. As a temporary workaround, manually check and clear the temporary folder regularly to minimize the risk of exploitation.
