Per the Security Assessment Review, users must abide by the following constraints:
- A vulnerability exists because Wondershare Technology Group is headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, and is subject to risks associated with Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI). These risks may include unauthorized data access or potential supply chain interference. To mitigate, careful monitoring is recommended to mitigate any associated risks. To mitigate, careful monitoring is recommended to mitigate any associated risks.
- A vulnerability exists because Wondershare UniConverter v16.2.1.134 includes unsupported versions of Microsoft C and C++ Libraries (Version 9.00.21022.8 and Version 10.00.30319.460). Microsoft no longer provides maintenance and security support for the product. To mitigate, administrators must ensure that installed versions of Microsoft C Runtime Libraries are updated to a TRM approved version of the software. The vendor must maintain all third-party components during the entire product lifecycle, including responding to vulnerabilities discovered in third-party components used in the product.
