CVE-2024-38885: An issue in Horizon Business Services Inc. Caterease Software allows a remote
attacker to perform unauthorized access using known operating system credentials due to hardcoded SQL
user credentials in the client application.
Vulnerability Type: CWE-259: Use of Hard-coded Password
Vendor of the Product: Horizon Business Services Inc.
Affected Product: Caterease Software
Affected Versions: 16.0.1.1663 through 24.0.1.2405
Attack Vector: Remote
Attack Type: CAPEC-653: Use of Known Operating System Credentials
Vulnerability Summary: Caterease Software contains hardcoded SQL user credentials within the client
application. These credentials are embedded in the software and are identical across all instances of the
application, making them a single point of failure. Attackers who gain access to the client application can
easily extract these hardcoded credentials and use them to log in to any Caterease Software SQL
database.
The SQL user associated with these credentials is a member of the DBO group, granting it elevated
privileges within the SQL server. This means that once attackers have the credentials, they can access and
control the entire SQL server. They can read and exfiltrate sensitive data, modify or delete database
records, and execute arbitrary SQL commands. This vulnerability severely impacts the confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of the database.
