Lenovo fingerprint management software has a major vulnerability. Please update and correct it!
Although urgent corrections have been made up, it is hard to imagine Lenovo's Fingerprint identification software Fingerprint Manager Pro, which is used in many laptop and desktop products 」, previously, only a low-encryption algorithm and a set of hardcoded passwords were used. As a result, people who are interested can easily skip Fingerprint Authentication and directly access the computer system. This major vulnerability affects more than 30 ThinkPad, ThinkCentre, and ThinkStation models (listed at the end of this Article), and may expose computer creden and fingerprint data.
Because Windows 10 no longer needs this software, this vulnerability only applies to users of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, it is also unable to use the device to crack the network, so it is also slightly reduced. After all, this is a major vulnerability. We recommend that you install this software so that you can start updating as soon as possible to avoid extra troubles.
