What is CVE-2003-0048?

PuTTY versions 0.53b and earlier contain a critical flaw that does not adequately clear logon credentials from memory. This oversight allows attackers with access to the system's memory to potentially retrieve sensitive SSH credentials, including plaintext passwords. The exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and increased risk of data breaches, making it essential for users to upgrade to newer versions that address this issue.
