Summary

In BRAIN2 versions up to and including 3.09, under specific installation conditions, the password of a Windows service account may be written in cleartext to a setup log file. The issue occurs when Microsoft SQL Server access is configured using Integrated Security and the Windows account for the BRAIN2 MainService is specified during the installation wizard. The setup log file is stored in the temporary directory of the installing administrator and is generally accessible only to users with administrative privileges.

Risk Assessment

Successful exploitation could result in the disclosure of credentials belonging to the configured BRAIN2 service account, potentially enabling further access to the system. The risk is limited as the log file is accessible only to administrators.

Recommendation

Update BRAIN2 to a version later than 3.09 if available. Additionally, review and remove installation log files and restrict access to temporary directories.

Other vulnerabilities in BRAIN2

CVE-2026-16246High
In BRAIN2 prior to version 3.09, the LogPathConfig.exe application is executed during setup, granting the Everyone group full control over %ProgramData% instead of restricting access to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BRAIN2\. Starting with version 3.09, the setup no longer runs this tool, but the optional Bizerba ScriptService still executes it. ScriptService is deprecated and will not be included from version 3.11.

Original NVD description (English source)

A vulnerability has been identified in BRAIN2 versions up to and including version 3.09. Under specific installation conditions, the password of a Windows service account may be written in cleartext to a setup log file. The issue occurs when Microsoft SQL Server access is configured using Integrated Security and the Windows account intended to run the BRAIN2 MainService is specified during execution of the BRAIN2 installation wizard. The setup log file is stored in the temporary directory of the Windows administrator performing the installation. This directory is not accessible to standard Windows users and can generally only be accessed by users with administrative privileges. Successful exploitation could result in the disclosure of credentials belonging to the configured BRAIN2 service account.
