Reading stored plaintext passwords requires some access to the internal database (AV:A, PR:L); only credential confidentiality is affected, so I:N and A:N.

Streamsoft Business Intelligence (BI) stores users' passwords in plaintext form in the database
This issue was fixed in version 6.8.0.0, users were also requested to change their password on the first login.
AnalysisAI
Plaintext password storage in Streamsoft Business Intelligence (BI) exposes every user's credential in recoverable form within the application database, meaning anyone able to read the database obtains working passwords directly rather than hashes. The flaw (CWE-256) affects all versions prior to 6.8.0.0, where the vendor introduced proper storage and forced a password change on first login after upgrade. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV; impact is confidentiality of credentials, amplified by likely password reuse across systems.
Technical ContextAI
Streamsoft BI is a business-intelligence/reporting component of the Streamsoft ERP suite (a Polish enterprise software vendor). The root cause is CWE-256, Plaintext Storage of a Password: user account passwords are persisted to the backend database without hashing, salting, or encryption. Because the credentials sit in cleartext, any read access to the relevant database table yields immediately usable secrets - no offline cracking of a hash is required. This is a storage/design weakness rather than a memory-corruption or injection bug, so no CPE list was supplied and the exact affected editions must be inferred from the vendor's fix note (all builds before 6.8.0.0).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Streamsoft BI 6.8.0.0, which stores passwords securely; after upgrading, force every user to change their password on first login (the vendor explicitly requested this) so that any credential previously written in plaintext is rotated and rendered useless. Because pre-6.8 credentials may already exist in cleartext in live databases, backups, and replicas, treat all of them as compromised and rotate any reused passwords on other systems. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls are to tightly restrict and audit access to the BI database and its backups (network segmentation, least-privilege DB accounts, encryption of backup media) to limit who can read the plaintext table - noting this does not remove the underlying exposure and adds operational overhead. Refer to the CERT.pl advisory (https://cert.pl/posts/2026/07/CVE-2026-50641) and vendor page (https://www.streamsoft.pl/business-intelligence/).
