WD Discovery's Use of Weak Hashing Algorithm for Code Signing

Published Sep 19, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024 · Assigned by WDC PSIRT

Description

WD Discovery software executable files were signed with an unsafe SHA-1 hashing algorithm. An attacker could use this weakness to create forged certificate signatures due to the use of a hashing algorithm that is not collision-free. This could thereby impact the confidentiality of user content. This issue affects: Western Digital WD Discovery WD Discovery Desktop App versions prior to 4.4.396 on Mac; WD Discovery Desktop App versions prior to 4.4.396 on Windows.
