Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
SmartIT Desktop Manager developed by Lightstar has a Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability. Unauthenticated remote attackers can obtain the SFTP service credentials of the SmartIT Agent application from the source code, thereby browsing the file system of the user's host.
AnalysisAI
Hard-coded SFTP credentials embedded in SmartIT Desktop Manager (by Lightstar) allow unauthenticated remote attackers to extract credentials from application source code and authenticate directly to the SmartIT Agent's SFTP service, enabling arbitrary file system browsing on the victim host. The vulnerability is CVSS 4.0-scored at 6.9 with no-privilege, network-accessible exploitation, though real-world impact is limited to read-only directory traversal rather than full compromise. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target host is running the SmartIT Agent component of SmartIT Desktop Manager with its SFTP service active and reachable over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N reflects network accessibility with no privileges required, but the vulnerable-system confidentiality is only 'Low' - consistent with read-only file system browsing rather than full data exfiltration or code execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to apply any vendor-released patch from Lightstar that removes the hard-coded credentials and replaces them with per-deployment generated or administrator-configured SFTP credentials. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
