Summary

The E2EE password entropy generated by Rocket.Chat Mobile prior to version 4.5.1 is insufficient, allowing attackers to crack it if they have the appropriate time and resources.

Special thanks to Hayato Kimura, Ryoma Ito, Kazuhiko Minematsu, and Takanori Isobe for their research.

This insufficient entropy in the initinal E2EE password was caused by the bias in the E2EE password generation process.
