Microsoft Outlook plug-in PGP version 7.0, 7.0.3, and 7.0.4 silently saves a decrypted copy of a message to hard disk when "Automatically decrypt/verify when opening messages" option is checked, "Always use Secure Viewer when decrypting" option is not checked, and the user replies to an encrypted message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects old PGP plug-ins for Microsoft Outlook. Under specific settings, replying to an encrypted email can silently leave a decrypted copy on disk. The business risk is loss of confidentiality for messages users believed remained protected, especially on shared, backed-up, or compromised endpoints. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running legacy PGP Outlook plug-in versions 7.0, 7.0.3, or 7.0.4 with the vulnerable option combination enabled. Treat as a targeted legacy exposure review. It is not marked actively exploited, but it can undermine encrypted email confidentiality where old Outlook PGP deployments remain. Mitigation focus: Inventory Outlook systems for PGP plug-in versions 7.0, 7.0.3, and 7.0.4.; Check vendor guidance for supported fixes, replacement versions, or retirement recommendations.; Disable automatic decrypt/verify where operationally feasible..
