Advisory Severity Curation

vantage6 may create unencrypted tasks in encrypted collaboration ### Impact There are no checks on whether the input is encrypted if a task is created in an encrypted collaboration. Therefore, a user may accidentally create a task with sensitive input data that will then be stored unencrypted in a database. ### Workarounds This is not an issue with the normal workflow, only if e.g. a user with the python client sets encryption to the wrong value.

Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information The vantage6 technology enables to manage and deploy privacy enhancing technologies like Federated Learning (FL) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC). There are no checks on whether the input is encrypted if a task is created in an encrypted collaboration. Therefore, a user may accidentally create a task with sensitive input data that will then be stored unencrypted in a database. Users should ensure they set the encryption setting correctly. This vulnerability is patched in 4.2.0.
