{"cve":"CVE-2006-0363","nvd":{"published":"2006-01-22T20:03:00.000","modified":"2026-06-16T22:20:26.430","status":"Modified","description":"The \"Remember my Password\" feature in MSN Messenger 7.5 stores passwords in an encrypted format under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\IdentityCRL\\Creds registry key, which might allow local users to obtain the original passwords via a program that calls CryptUnprotectData, as demonstrated by the \"MSN Password Recovery.exe\" program.  NOTE: it could be argued that local-only password recovery is inherently insecure because the decryption methods and keys must be stored somewhere on the local system, and are thus inherently accessible with varying degrees of effort.  Perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["http://www.msn-password-recovery.com/","http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/421921/100/0/threaded","http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/422283/100/0/threaded","http://www.msn-password-recovery.com/","http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/421921/100/0/threaded"],"products":["microsoft:msn_messenger"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T19:40:09.211843075+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2006-0363","score":0.02642,"percentile":0.85587,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
