CVE-2026-25601

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A vulnerability was identified in MEPIS RM, an industrial software product developed by Metronik. The application contained a hardcoded cryptographic key within the Mx.Web.ComponentModel.dll component. When the option to store domain passwords was enabled, this key was used to encrypt user passwords before storing them in the application’s database. An attacker with sufficient privileges to access the database could extract the encrypted passwords, decrypt them using the embedded key, and gain unauthorized access to the associated ICS/OT environment.

La aplicación contenía una clave criptográfica codificada de forma rígida dentro del componente Mx.Web.ComponentModel.dll. Cuando la opción de almacenar contraseñas de dominio estaba habilitada, esta clave se utilizaba para cifrar las contraseñas de los usuarios antes de almacenarlas en la base de datos de la aplicación. Un atacante con privilegios suficientes para acceder a la base de datos podría extraer las contraseñas cifradas, descifrarlas utilizando la clave incrustada y obtener acceso no autorizado al entorno ICS/OT asociado."
