An interaction between PGP 7.0.3 with the "wipe deleted files" option, when used on Windows Encrypted File System (EFS), creates a cleartext temporary files that cannot be wiped or deleted due to strong permissions, which could allow certain local users or attackers with physical access to obtain cleartext information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can leave cleartext copies of data that users expected PGP and Windows EFS to protect. The risk is narrow: it depends on PGP 7.0.3, the "wipe deleted files" option, Windows EFS, and local or physical access to the affected machine. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows endpoints using PGP 7.0.3 with Windows Encrypted File System and the wipe deleted files option enabled. Modern environments are unlikely to be exposed unless they retain old PGP Desktop deployments. Prioritize this as a legacy data-exposure issue, not an internet-facing emergency. Act quickly if regulated, credential, legal, or customer-sensitive files were processed on affected endpoints. Mitigation focus: Inventory Windows systems for PGP 7.0.3 and Windows EFS usage.; Disable the affected PGP wipe-deleted-files workflow until vendor guidance is confirmed.; Review the NAI/PGP hotfix ReadMe and apply vendor-supported remediation where applicable..
