Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already have high-privilege access (CVSS PR:H) sufficient to read SH3's stored user credential data within the Módulo de Gestão/Módulo de Arrecadação components; the core weakness is that credentials are stored with a reversible XOR-based encoding (CWE-916) rather than a computationally expensive one-way hash, so recovered values can be reversed to plaintext. Exploitation is limited by the need for that privileged access and by high attack complexity (AC:H) - the vendor explicitly reports exploitability as difficult. Impact is confined to confidentiality of stored credentials (VC:L); there is no integrity or availability effect. The only complete remediation stated in the sources is upgrading to version 2026.0.2.0.

Impact

All decision signals converge on LOW real-world priority. The vendor CVSS 4.0 base score is 2.1 (Low); although the vector is AV:N (network), it is heavily constrained by AC:H (high attack complexity), PR:H (high privileges required), and only VC:L impact (low confidentiality, with no integrity or availability effect). The exploit maturity metric is E:P (proof-of-concept), and the vuln.today decision label is 'monitor' - the lowest actionable tier. No EPSS score was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input. This CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. A public PoC reference exists (a Medium write-up) but it is not verified as working exploit code, so PoC availability must not be conflated with real-world exploitation. In short, this is a genuine cryptographic hygiene weakness (reversible credential storage) rather than an urgent threat: high complexity, high required privileges, and low impact together make it a low-priority, defense-in-depth fix rather than an emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds high-privilege access to an SH3 deployment (per CVSS PR:H) retrieves the stored user credential values and reverses the weak XOR-based encoding to recover plaintext passwords, which could then be reused against other accounts or systems. A public PoC reference (Medium write-up) describes the reversible XOR mechanism, but it is not verified as working exploit code, and CVSS AC:H indicates the attack is difficult to carry out in practice.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 25, 2026

Stored user credentials in SH3, within the Módulo de Gestão and Módulo de Arrecadação components, are protected only by a reversible XOR-based encoding rather than a computationally expensive one-way password hash (CWE-916), so anyone able to read that credential data can reverse it back to plaintext. Only authenticated, high-privileged users (CVSS PR:H) can reach the affected data, and the vendor rates exploitability as difficult with high attack complexity; impact is limited to confidentiality of stored credentials with no integrity or availability effect, giving a low severity score (CVSS 4.0 base 2.1, independently assessed as CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). A public PoC reference exists in the form of a Medium write-up; it is not verified as working exploit code, and there is no KEV listing or other indication of active exploitation. Priority is monitor.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 2026.0.2.0 - upgrading to version 2026.0.2.0 is the only complete remediation stated in the sources, and the vendor recommends upgrading the affected component (advisory: https://vuldb.com/vuln/426138). Because the underlying weakness is reversible XOR-based encoding of stored credentials rather than insufficiently iterated hashing, upgrading the affected component is what removes the exposure; as a compensating measure, restrict high-privilege access to the Módulo de Gestão and Módulo de Arrecadação credential data, since the assessed exploit path requires that privileged access - but note this only narrows who can reach the stored values and does not change the reversible encoding of credentials already stored, so it is not a substitute for the upgrade. No other workaround or configuration-level fix is stated in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw class is CWE-916, use of a password hash with insufficient computational effort, but the public write-up describes the concrete mechanism as a reversible XOR-based encoding of stored user credentials rather than any keyed or iterated hash - meaning recovery is a decoding step rather than an expensive cracking effort, provided the attacker can access the stored values. The affected surface is the Módulo de Gestão and Módulo de Arrecadação components of SH3; the CPE record (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:sh3:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) lists the product with a wildcard version and no named vendor, so the exact set of prior releases is not enumerated in the available sources. The supplied evidence does not describe the specific function or code path that exposes the stored data; the trigger beyond the component names is not described in the available sources. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/E:P) and the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment agree on network reachability, high attack complexity and a high-privilege prerequisite, with only low confidentiality impact and no downstream scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in SH3. This affects an unknown function of the component Módulo de Gestão/Módulo de Arrecadação. The manipulation leads to password hash with insufficient computational effort. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. A high degree of complexity is needed for the attack. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 2026.0.2.0 mitigates this issue. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.
