Cerulean Studios Trillian 0.73 and earlier use weak encrypttion (XOR) for storing user passwords in .ini files in the Trillian directory, which allows local users to gain access to other user accounts.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Trillian 0.73 and earlier saved users' passwords in local .ini files using weak XOR obfuscation. Someone with local access to the machine or Trillian directory could recover passwords and use the associated accounts. This is mainly a legacy endpoint and credential exposure risk, not a remotely exploitable server flaw based on the supplied sources. Exposure is likely limited to old workstations, archives, virtual machines, or user profile backups that still contain Trillian 0.73 or earlier configuration files. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected unless legacy IM software or historical disk images remain accessible. Treat this as a targeted legacy cleanup issue. It is not supported by the sources as internet-facing or actively exploited, but any remaining installations may expose reusable account passwords to insiders or anyone with local file access. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints and archives for Trillian 0.73 or earlier.; Remove or retire legacy Trillian installations where found.; Check vendor or archival guidance before assuming a fixed version..
