Summary

The PDBM application uses a static, hard-coded secret in the PDBM.exe executable. This secret is used for encryption, including decrypting credentials stored in the configuration file. Since the secret is constant across installations, an attacker with local privileges can extract it and decrypt the password, gaining administrative access to the PDBM management interface.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can gain full access to the PDBM management interface with administrative privileges, potentially leading to control over the application and its operational functions.

Recommendation

Immediately update the PDBM application to a version that does not use a static secret, and change all passwords stored in the configuration file.

Original NVD description (English source)

The PDBM application relies on a static, hard‑coded secret embedded in the PDBM.exe executable. This secret is used by the application’s encryption routines, including the function responsible for decrypting credentials stored in the product’s configuration file. Because the secret is constant across installations, any attacker with sufficient local privileges can extract it from the binary. Once obtained, the secret allows the attacker to decrypt the stored password and authenticate as the user defined in the configuration file. In the affected version, this user account is configured with administrative privileges, granting full access to PDBM’s management interface and its underlying operational functions.
