Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

NeuVector versions from 5.3.0 before 5.4.7 (and Go module github.com/neuvector/neuvector before 0.0.0-20251020133207-084a437033b4) use a hard-coded cryptographic key embedded in the source to encrypt sensitive stored configuration. The source gives few details on how an attacker would exploit this. The fix is to upgrade to version 5.4.7 or later, which generates random keys from a Kubernetes secret; no workaround is listed.
