Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in BinSoft mpGabinet up to 23.12.19. This issue affects an unknown function of the component Application Interface. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a unnecessary privileges vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-250. The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

mpGabinet is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to excessive database privileges assigned to the user used by the application. An attacker with access to any running application instance connected to the backend server can extract database credentials from the application’s memory by inspecting the running process. While ability to retrieve credentials from memory is expected behavior, the exposed credentials grant administrative access to the database, exceeding the privileges required for normal application functionality. This allows an attacker to perform actions beyond those permitted through the application interface. This issue affects mpGabinet version 23.12.19 and below.
