VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/37553/

DESCRIPTION: A security issue has been discovered in TUKEVA Password Reminder, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the application using a hard-coded password to access the credentials stored in rem.accdb. This allows accessing the credentials database without knowing the correct main password.

The security issue is confirmed in version 1.0.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION: Restrict access to the rem.accdb file.
