Abstract
The Project Protection is used to prevent unauthorized users from
opening the protected project file by prompting the user for a password.
The XML file is AES-CBC encrypted, however the key used for encryption
is hard coded and cannot be changed. The key used for encryption is:
“SoMachineBasicSoMachineBasicSoMa”. After decrypting the XML file with
the standard password the user password can be found in the decrypted
data. After reading the user password the project can be opened and
modified with SoMachine Basic.

Vendor Contacted
We contacted the vendor. Apart from the first acknowledgement of the
receipt of the report we did not receive any further information.
