CVE-2026-19051 Sep 04, 11:53 HIGH PATCH This Week

Plaintext password storage in Menulux Portal (CWE-256) exposes embedded credentials to any low-privileged authenticated user over the network. All portal versions prior to build 20260903211448 are affected. Disclosed by TR-CERT; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, though the High CVSS confidentiality rating reflects full credential retrieval capability.

CVE-2026-82453 Aug 29, 13:47 HIGH This Week

Cleartext password storage in rust-iot-platform (through commit 5df942ab) enables unauthenticated network attackers to harvest plaintext credentials for every registered account by querying standard user retrieval and listing API routes. The root cause is CWE-256: the user model persists passwords without hashing, and those fields are then serialized into API responses without sanitization. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the triviality of exploitation - a plain HTTP GET to an exposed endpoint - makes CVSS 4.0's 8.7 score a credible reflection of real-world risk for any internet-exposed deployment.

CVE-2026-55765 Aug 20, 21:38 HIGH PATCH This Week

Cleartext password exposure in CloudNativePG's PostgreSQL role management allows an authenticated low-privilege tenant to escalate to full operating-system command execution inside the database pod. Versions prior to 1.28.4, 1.29.2, and 1.30.0 embed raw cleartext passwords directly in ALTER ROLE and CREATE ROLE SQL statements; when pg_stat_statements is preloaded with track_utility=on, any tenant granted pg_monitor or pg_read_all_stats can harvest those credentials from query history. With the recovered superuser or application-owner password, the attacker reconnects and leverages PostgreSQL's COPY ... FROM PROGRAM to run arbitrary OS commands, achieving full cluster-pod compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the attack chain is mechanically straightforward once prerequisites are met.

CVE-2026-50641 Jul 29, 13:18 HIGH PATCH This Week

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.

Plaintext storage of user account passwords in Weintek cMT3092X HMI firmware and EasyWeb exposes credentials to any network-based attacker with low-privileged authenticated access. Successful exploitation leads to full confidentiality compromise as stored passwords can be read directly. No active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified, and a vendor patch is available.

CVE-2026-40430 Jul 23, 21:58 HIGH CISA Act Now

Cleartext credential exposure in Pronetiqs IntraVUE (Panduit IntraVUE) versions 3.2.1a14 and prior allows an attacker to retrieve stored passwords in plaintext via the product's API, because credentials are never hashed or encrypted at rest. This industrial-network visualization tool is affected across all builds up to and including 3.2.1a14, and per the CVSS 4.0 vector the disclosure is reachable over the network without authentication (VC:H). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the ICS-CERT advisory (ICSA-26-204-04) confirms the flaw.

CVE-2026-46513 Jul 16, 18:14 HIGH PATCH This Week

Sensitive credential exposure in Frogman (an mwtcmi FreePBX module providing headless PBX control via MCP and an HTTP API) before 1.6.2 stores API tokens in cleartext, so any read of the oc_api_tokens database table yields fully reusable, active tokens at their assigned permission level - up to admin. Because Frogman.class.php authenticated the X-Frogman-Token header by directly comparing the presented value against the stored raw string, a leaked or read database directly hands an attacker working credentials. Rated CVSS 7.4 (high); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is fixed in version 1.6.2.

CVE-2026-46488 Jun 22, 20:59 PyPI CRITICAL PATCH GHSA Act Now

Authentication bypass in motionEye versions prior to 0.44.0 allows remote attackers to impersonate any user, including the administrator, by setting the client-controlled cookies meye_password_hash and meye_username without ever knowing the plaintext password. The server treats these attacker-controlled values as sufficient authentication material, and because the admin hash is stored in a world-readable file (/etc/motioneye/motion.conf), any local shell user can trivially escalate to admin via the web UI. Publicly available exploit code exists in the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-r3cw-c95m-wfh9, but there is no public exploit identified beyond the PoC and the issue is not in CISA KEV.

Credential disclosure in NATS Server (nats-server) before v2.11.15 and v2.12.6 exposes MQTT client passwords through the server's HTTP monitoring endpoints. When MQTT clients authenticate with username/password, the server mistakenly stores the password in the field reserved for a non-authenticating JWT identity statement, which is then surfaced verbatim in monitoring data such as connection listings. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and SSVC marks exploitation as none, the EPSS score is very low (0.03%), and a vendor patch is available.
