Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Explorance Blue up to 8.14.11. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a password recoverable vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-257. The storage of passwords in a recoverable format makes them subject to password reuse attacks by malicious users. In fact, it should be noted that recoverable encrypted passwords provide no significant benefit over plaintext passwords since they are subject not only to reuse by malicious attackers but also by malicious insiders. If a system administrator can recover a password directly, or use a brute force search on the available information, the administrator can use the password on other accounts. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Explorance Blue versions prior to 8.14.12 use reversible symmetric encryption with a hardcoded static key to protect sensitive data, including user passwords and system configurations. This approach allows stored values to be decrypted offline if the encrypted data are obtained.

The weakness was shared by Abdulrahman Nour. The advisory is shared for download at explorance.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2025-57796 since 08/19/2025. The exploitability is told to be difficult. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1552.

Upgrading to version 8.14.12 eliminates this vulnerability.
