| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires all of the following to be simultaneously true: (1) the Sitefinity instance must have an active Sitefinity Insight integration configured, (2) the site must be running a non-default configuration as specified in the vendor advisory, and (3) the attacker must already hold valid back-end authorization at a high privilege level (CVSS PR:H). The attack vector is network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), so once those preconditions are met the request itself is trivial; however, default-configured Sitefinity instances without Insight integration are not exploitable, which is the primary limiting factor. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that requires high privileges and no user interaction, with scope change and high confidentiality and integrity impact on a downstream component (Sitefinity Insight). The high privilege requirement (PR:H) plus the description's explicit prerequisites - active Insight integration, non-default site configuration, and valid back-end authorization - meaningfully narrows the realistic attacker population to insiders or attackers who have already compromised a privileged CMS account. EPSS and KEV data were not supplied in the input, and no public PoC reference is present, so this currently looks like a credible insider/post-compromise privilege-pivot risk rather than a mass-exploitation candidate; the 8.7 base score is driven largely by S:C and the downstream impact on the Insight tenant, not by ease of exploitation. Defenders should treat this primarily as a secrets-hygiene and lateral-movement issue. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or been granted a high-privilege Sitefinity back-end account - for example via a phished administrator, a reused credential, or a malicious insider - authenticates to the CMS and queries the affected web services to retrieve the plain-text Sitefinity Insight integration credentials. They then reuse those credentials directly against the Sitefinity Insight tenant to read or tamper with analytics and personalization data, pivoting the impact beyond the CMS itself (CVSS scope change). No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, so realistic exploitation today would be hands-on-keyboard rather than commodity. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 02, 2026
Credential exposure in Progress Sitefinity versions 8.0.5700 through 13.3.7652 allows authenticated back-end users to retrieve plain-text credentials used by the CMS to connect to the Sitefinity Insight analytics service. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.7 with scope change (S:C) reflects that stolen Insight credentials can pivot into an adjacent system beyond the CMS itself. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS data was not provided in the input.
RemediationAI
Apply the fix per the Progress Sitefinity May 2026 Security Advisory at https://community.progress.com/s/article/Sitefinity-Security-Advisory-for-Addressing-Security-Vulnerabilities-CVE-2026-7312-CVE-2026-7198-CVE-2026-7195-CVE-2026-7201-CVE-2026-7313-May-2026; the input does not name a specific fixed version, so the status is patch available per vendor advisory - confirm the exact upgrade target with Progress before deploying. After upgrading, rotate the Sitefinity Insight integration credentials since any prior values must be assumed disclosed to any back-end user who could reach the affected web services. Compensating controls until patched: restrict back-end Sitefinity administrative access to a small, audited set of accounts and enforce MFA on those accounts; temporarily disable the Sitefinity Insight integration if it is not business-critical (trade-off: loss of analytics and personalization data flow); and place the Sitefinity admin interface behind a VPN or IP allow-list to shrink the network exposure implied by AV:N. Review audit logs for unexpected access to the affected web service endpoints before rotation, because rotation alone will not reveal whether the secret has already been retrieved.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Sitefinity is Progress Software's enterprise .NET-based CMS and digital experience platform. The flaw is classified as CWE-522 (Insufficiently Protected Credentials), meaning credentials are stored or transmitted in a recoverable form rather than being protected through hashing, encryption, or a secret-management layer. In this case, the integration credentials Sitefinity uses to authenticate to Sitefinity Insight (the analytics/personalization SaaS companion to the CMS) are exposed in plain text through web services accessible to authorized back-end users, rather than being masked or restricted to the configuration subsystem. The CVE description does not list a CWE in the structured NVD field (CWE: N/A) but the description text explicitly cites CWE-522.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
CWE‑522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials in web services in Progress Sitefinity version from 8.0.5700 to 13.3.7652 allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain plain-text credentials used connect to Sitefinity Insight service. Successful exploitation requires active integration with Sitefinity Insight, non-default site configuration and valid back-end authorization.
Executive ViewAI
Progress Sitefinity CMS versions 8.0.5700 through 13.3.7652 contain a credential exposure vulnerability that permits authenticated administrative users to access plain-text credentials for the integrated Sitefinity Insight analytics service. While no public exploit has been identified, compromised credentials could enable unauthorized access to the analytics platform and potentially other downstream systems, expanding the attack surface beyond the CMS itself. This vulnerability affects all deployments of these Sitefinity versions and necessitates implementation of interim controls pending patch availability.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Enforce principle of least privilege for Sitefinity back-end administrative access; (2) Rotate Sitefinity Insight service credentials and monitor for unauthorized access attempts; (3) Implement network segmentation between CMS and analytics infrastructure to contain potential compromise; (4) Enable and monitor detailed audit logs for administrative access to credential configurations.
