Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Trac PDBM. This affects an unknown functionality of the file PDBM.exe of the component Configuration File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a hard-coded credentials vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-798. The product contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key, which it uses for its own inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The PDBM application relies on a static, hard‑coded secret embedded in the PDBM.exe executable. This secret is used by the application’s encryption routines, including the function responsible for decrypting credentials stored in the product’s configuration file. Because the secret is constant across installations, any attacker with sufficient local privileges can extract it from the binary. Once obtained, the secret allows the attacker to decrypt the stored password and authenticate as the user defined in the configuration file. In the affected version, this user account is configured with administrative privileges, granting full access to PDBM’s management interface and its underlying operational functions.

The weakness was released by Mijo Mišić with Combis d.o.o.. The advisory is shared at cert.si. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-25600 since 02/03/2026. The exploitability is told to be difficult. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploitation needs additional levels of successful authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1110.001 for this issue.

Upgrading to version 2.0.0.0 eliminates this vulnerability.
