The Popular URL capability (popularurls.cpp) in Krusader 1.60.0 and 1.70.0-beta1 saves passwords in cleartext in the krusaderrc file when the user enters URLs containing passwords in the panel URL field, which might allow attackers to access other sites.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Krusader’s Popular URL feature could store passwords in readable text inside the user’s krusaderrc configuration file. If someone gains access to that file, they may recover passwords embedded in URLs and use them elsewhere. Exposure is likely limited to systems running the named Krusader versions where users entered credential-bearing URLs. Risk depends on access to the affected user’s configuration file and reuse or privilege of the stored passwords. Treat this as a targeted credential exposure cleanup, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize environments with legacy Linux desktops, shared workstations, privileged site credentials, or weak local account separation. Mitigation focus: Identify any Krusader 1.60.0 or 1.70.0-beta1 installations.; Remove saved password-bearing URLs from affected krusaderrc files.; Rotate any passwords that may have been stored in krusaderrc..
