Exploitation Conditions

Requires Docker-based Vvveb deployment using the vulnerable docker-compose-apache.yaml configuration file with phpMyAdmin container enabled and network-accessible. The phpMyAdmin service port must be exposed to the attacker's network-this occurs by default in standard docker-compose deployments which map container ports to host interfaces. Specifically affects deployments that have not modified the default database credentials from the shipped configuration file. Does not affect Vvveb installations deployed through traditional web server configurations without Docker, or Docker deployments where administrators have customized database credentials and restricted phpMyAdmin port access. CVSS vector AT:P (Attack Requirements Present) confirms deployment-specific conditions rather than universal exploitability, but these conditions represent the default/recommended deployment method per vendor documentation, making large portions of the user base vulnerable.

Impact

Critical real-world risk with immediate action required. CVSS 9.2 accurately reflects the severity: network vector (AV:N), no authentication required (PR:N), low complexity (AC:L), with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. The AT:P (Attack Requirements Present) modifier indicates that while exploitation is straightforward, the phpMyAdmin port must be exposed-which is standard in Docker deployments following the provided configuration. This vulnerability grants complete database control equivalent to SQL injection but without needing to exploit application logic. The combination of Authentication Bypass and Docker tags confirms this affects containerized deployments specifically. No EPSS or KEV data provided, suggesting newly disclosed vulnerability not yet widely exploited, but the trivial exploitation path (direct port connection with known credentials) makes this automatable once deployments are discovered through port scanning. Patch availability in version 1.0.8.2 with specific commit f85ca7c2bc389bda3cc2eca87b2514581a628c32 provides clear remediation path. Highest priority for any organization running Vvveb in Docker, especially internet-facing deployments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker performs network reconnaissance scanning for exposed phpMyAdmin instances on Docker deployments (common ports 8080, 8081). Upon discovering a Vvveb installation, the attacker retrieves the hard-coded credentials from the publicly available docker-compose-apache.yaml file in the Vvveb GitHub repository. Using these credentials, they authenticate directly to phpMyAdmin and execute SQL queries to extract administrator password hashes, which they crack offline. With administrator access, they modify product prices, inject malicious JavaScript into page content for stored XSS attacks against customers, or exfiltrate complete customer databases including payment information and PII for sale on dark web markets.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 06, 2026

Hard-coded credentials in Vvveb's Docker deployment expose the entire application database to unauthenticated remote attackers. Versions prior to 1.0.8.2 ship with pre-configured phpMyAdmin credentials in docker-compose-apache.yaml, allowing direct database access without authentication. Attackers gain unrestricted read/write access to administrator password hashes, customer PII, and order data, enabling account takeover and data manipulation. CVSS 9.2 (Critical) reflects network-accessible attack with low complexity. Patch available in version 1.0.8.2 with vendor advisory confirmed by GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-g38h-mr9p-fjmf.

RemediationAI

Upgrade immediately to Vvveb version 1.0.8.2 or later, available at https://github.com/givanz/Vvveb/releases/tag/1.0.8.2. The security fix is implemented in commit f85ca7c2bc389bda3cc2eca87b2514581a628c32 which removes hard-coded credentials from docker-compose-apache.yaml. For organizations unable to upgrade immediately, implement these specific compensating controls: (1) Block external access to phpMyAdmin container port (typically 8080 or 8081) using firewall rules-restricts attack to internal network only but does not eliminate risk from insider threats or lateral movement; (2) Change the default database credentials in docker-compose-apache.yaml and restart containers-requires manual configuration management and may break on updates; (3) Remove phpMyAdmin container entirely from docker-compose configuration if database administration can be performed through alternative tools-eliminates attack surface but reduces operational convenience. All workarounds are inferior to patching. After remediation, audit database access logs for suspicious queries and reset all administrator passwords as a precautionary measure given potential prior compromise.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability stems from insecure defaults in Infrastructure-as-Code configurations. The docker-compose-apache.yaml file contains plaintext database credentials accessible to the phpMyAdmin container, mapping CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function). Docker Compose configurations define container orchestration including environment variables, port mappings, and service credentials. When phpMyAdmin is exposed with hard-coded credentials, it bypasses the application's authentication layer entirely, granting direct MySQL/MariaDB access. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:givanz:vvveb identifies this as affecting the Givanz Vvveb content management system. CVSS 4.0 vector shows Attack Complexity Low (AC:L) with Present attack requirements (AT:P), indicating the phpMyAdmin port must be network-accessible, which is the case in default Docker deployments exposing container services.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vvveb before version 1.0.8.2 contains a hard-coded credentials vulnerability in its docker-compose-apache.yaml configuration that allows unauthenticated attackers to access the bundled phpMyAdmin container with pre-configured database credentials. Attackers can connect to the phpMyAdmin port to gain unrestricted read and write access to the entire Vvveb database, including administrator password hashes, customer personally identifiable information, and order data, enabling account takeover and data manipulation.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Vvveb versions prior to 1.0.8.2 contain hard-coded credentials in Docker configurations that expose phpMyAdmin and the entire application database to unauthenticated remote access. Any organization running affected Vvveb instances faces immediate risk of complete database compromise, including administrator credentials, customer personally identifiable information, and transactional data, enabling both account takeover and unauthorized data manipulation.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch to Vvveb version 1.0.8.2 or later. Interim mitigation if patching is delayed: restrict network access to phpMyAdmin and Docker-exposed ports to internal/trusted networks only; disable or remove phpMyAdmin if not operationally required; audit and rotate all database credentials immediately.
