CVE-2026-25600

CVE-2026-25600 is a medium-severity vulnerability with a CVSS 3.x base score of 6.4. It is not currently listed as actively exploited by CISA, and its EPSS exploit-prediction score is low. The underlying weakness is classified as CWE-798.

Key facts

Description

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.
