Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network access to a Talassoft Industrial Management Software instance running a version in the V.4-to-pre-V.16 range, plus knowledge of the hard-coded credential embedded in the software. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L), no prior authentication, no user interaction, and no elevated privileges are needed - the embedded credential itself is the access mechanism. The main limiting factors are that the target must be reachable on the network by the attacker (mitigated when the application is confined to an isolated OT/management segment) and must be an unpatched version below V.16; the shared static nature of the credential means once it is disclosed, all in-range deployments are exposed.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with high confidentiality and integrity impact, yielding a 9.1 base score. However, the description scopes the actual effect to 'Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data,' which is a confidentiality outcome - the I:H (integrity) rating in the input is not clearly supported by the description text and should be verified with the vendor. There is no EPSS score, no KEV listing, and no POC in the provided data, so the high CVSS reflects theoretical severity rather than demonstrated exploitation. Hard-coded credential flaws are typically reliable once the secret is known, so the primary risk gate is disclosure/reverse-engineering of the credential rather than exploit complexity; treat this as a genuine high-priority patch item for any organization running Talassoft, while recognizing the real-world exploitation footprint is limited by the product's niche deployment.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network reachability to a Talassoft instance extracts the hard-coded credential - for example by reverse-engineering the client, reading configuration, or reusing a documented default - and authenticates to retrieve embedded sensitive data without any legitimate account. Given AV:N/AC:L/PR:N, no user interaction or prior access is required once the static secret is known. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, so this reflects the described capability rather than observed in-the-wild activity.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026

Sensitive data disclosure in TMT Machine Industry and Trade's Talassoft Industrial Management Software (versions V.4 through pre-V.16) stems from hard-coded credentials embedded in the application, allowing remote attackers to retrieve protected sensitive data without authentication. The flaw was reported by Turkey's national CERT (TR-CERT/USOM) and carries a CVSS 9.1 rating. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Talassoft Industrial Management Software to V.16 or later, which is the first release outside the affected range per the version data (from V.4 before V.16); confirm the exact fixed build directly with TMT Machine Industry and Trade via the TR-CERT advisory at https://siberguvenlik.gov.tr/guvenlik-bildirimleri/detay/tr-26-0965. Because the weakness is hard-coded credentials, patching alone may not be sufficient if the static secret has already been exposed - after upgrading, rotate or invalidate any credentials and keys the vendor confirms were embedded, and treat previously stored secrets as compromised. As compensating controls until patched, restrict network access to the Talassoft application to trusted management segments (block untrusted networks and the internet from reaching it) and place it behind a VPN or firewall ACL, accepting the trade-off of reduced remote accessibility for legitimate operators; also monitor for anomalous authentication using the known embedded credential. These are specific mitigations rather than generic hardening, but they do not remove the underlying static secret, so upgrading remains mandatory.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials), in which authentication secrets - passwords, API keys, or cryptographic material - are compiled or stored directly within the software rather than provisioned securely per-deployment. In Talassoft, an industrial/manufacturing management platform (CPE cpe:2.3:a:tmt_machine_industry_and_trade_ltd._co.:talassoft_industrial_management_software), these embedded credentials can be recovered by inspecting binaries, configuration, or network exchanges, then reused to access embedded sensitive data. Because the credentials are static and shared across all installations, a secret extracted from one deployment generally works against every affected instance, which is characteristic of hard-coded credential weaknesses.

DescriptionCVE.org

Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in TMT Machine Industry and Trade Ltd. Co. Talassoft Industrial Management Software allows Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data.

This issue affects Talassoft Industrial Management Software: from V.4 before V.16.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Talassoft Industrial Management Software (versions V.4 through pre-V.16) contains hard-coded credentials allowing remote attackers to access sensitive operational data without authentication, creating critical exposure for manufacturing and industrial organizations. Affected deployments face direct compromise of production data, process parameters, and operational intelligence with no authentication barrier. This vulnerability lacks a vendor patch, requiring immediate interim protective measures to reduce organizational risk.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement network isolation restricting Talassoft systems to trusted internal networks only; deploy intrusion detection monitoring for unusual credential usage; restrict administrative and data access through application-level controls and role-based access; enable comprehensive audit logging of all data access and authentication attempts; and implement firewall rules blocking direct external connectivity to affected systems until upgrade is completed.

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
