+        <p>Apache Syncope can be configured to store the user password values in the internal database with AES encryption, though this is not the default option.</p>
+
+        <p>When AES is configured, the default key value, hard-coded in the source code, is always used.
+          This allows a malicious attacker, once obtained access to the internal database content, to reconstruct the original cleartext password values.<br/>
+          This is not affecting encrypted plain attributes, whose values are also stored using AES encryption.</p>

       <subsection name="CVE-2025-57738: Apache Syncope: Remote Code Execution by delegated administrators">
         <p>Apache Syncope offers the ability to extend / customize the base behavior on every deployment by allowing to provide custom implementations of a few Java interfaces; such implementations can be provided either as Java or Groovy classes, with the latter being particularly attractive as the machinery is set for runtime reload.
-Such a feature has been available for a while, but recently it was discovered that a malicious administrator can inject Groovy code that can be executed remotely by a running Apache Syncope Core instance.
-Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.14 / 4.0.2, which fix this issue by forcing the Groovy code to run in a sandbox.</p>
