CVE-2025-62514 Details
Description
Parsec is a cloud-based application for cryptographically secure file sharing. In versions on the 3.x branch prior to 3.6.0, `libparsec_crypto`, a component of the Parsec application, does not check for weak order point of Curve25519 when compiled with its RustCrypto backend. In practice this means an attacker in a man-in-the-middle position would be able to provide weak order points to both parties in the Diffie-Hellman exchange, resulting in a high probability to for both parties to obtain the same shared key (hence leading to a successful SAS code exchange, misleading both parties into thinking no MITM has occurred) which is also known by the attacker. Note only Parsec web is impacted (as Parsec desktop uses `libparsec_crypto` with the libsodium backend). Version 3.6.0 of Parsec patches the issue.
A vulnerability exists in Parsec versions 3.x prior to 3.6.0, specifically in the web application when using the RustCrypto backend. The issue arises because the `libparsec_crypto` component fails to validate Curve25519 public points for weak order. This oversight allows an attacker in a man-in-the-middle position to introduce weak order points during the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, increasing the likelihood that both parties will derive the same shared key. Consequently, this could lead to a successful SAS code exchange, creating a false sense of security by masking the MITM attack.
Users can upgrade to Parsec version 3.6.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
