PatchTheCVECVE-2022-29835: WD Discovery software executable files were signed with an unsafe SHA-1 hashing algorithm
CVE-2022-29835 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.3) affecting wd discovery, wd discovery. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
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
