Summary
Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) stores credentials used to configure NPCS in 'HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Newforma\<version>\Credentials'. The credentials are encrypted but the encryption key is stored in the same registry location. Authenticated users can access both the credentials and the encryption key. If these are Active Directory credentials, an attacker may be able to gain access to additional systems and resources.
