Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This report focuses on a severe vulnerability, designated CVE-2025-49182, which affects software applications containing hardcoded login credentials within their source code. This vulnerability is particularly concerning as it can grant an attacker full access to the application, potentially leading to system compromise and data leakage. Given the severity of the vulnerability, it necessitates immediate attention and mitigation.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-49182
\nSeverity: High (7.5)
\nAttack Vector: Network-based exploit
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Full system compromise and potential data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

App1 | All versions prior to 2.0.3
\nApp2 | All versions prior to 1.5.7<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability arises from the insecure practice of storing login credentials, such as the admin user and property configuration password, directly in the source code. An attacker can exploit this by gaining access to the source code, either through a network-based attack or via a compromised local machine, and retrieving these credentials. With these credentials, the attacker can log in as an administrator, gaining full control over the application.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following is a theoretical example of how an attacker might extract the credentials from the source code:<\/p>\n

GET \/source_code\/file HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nAccept: application\/json\n{\n\"file_path\": \"\/path\/to\/credentials\/file\"\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
After retrieving the source code file, the attacker could parse it to extract the hard-coded credentials. Once they have the credentials, they can log into the application and perform any actions they wish, including data theft, system compromise, or the creation of additional privileged accounts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
