Summary: 

The node secret in affected products was stored using an encryption key and 
encryption algorithm that is no longer considered effective by RSA standards. 
An attacker could potentially exploit this to eavesdrop on or modify network 
communications.
 

Details: 

The node secret is a symmetric encryption key that RSA® Authentication Manager, 
RSA Authentication Agents, and RSA® Access Manager use to protect network 
communications. In affected products, the node secret is encrypted and stored 
on the agent host using a dated encryption algorithm and weak key.

All agent software which leverages the RSA SecurID Authentication API has been 
updated to use stronger encryption and stronger keys.

Note: All agent software, whether shipped by RSA or one of its RSA Secured 
Partners, which leverage the RADIUS Protocol is NOT affected by this issue.
