Machine-written summary

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

Apache Syncope (syncope-core) versions 4.0.0 to before 4.0.3 and versions before 3.0.15 are affected when user passwords are configured to use AES encryption, which is not the default. The product always uses a default AES key hard-coded in its source code, so an attacker who gains access to the internal database contents can recover cleartext passwords. Upgrade to 4.0.3 or 3.0.15, which fix the issue.
