AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability exists in the UserDao.login method of the StudentManagement application, where user passwords are written to storage as plain text. This cleartext storage allows any process or user with local filesystem or process access to read the authentication data, enabling credential theft and potential impersonation of legitimate users.

Affected Systems

Soarkey StudentManagement up to commit e08f7f1d5015af407aa4cca0ada3dea189b4937e is affected; no other vendors or product versions are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.8, indicating moderate severity, and the attack is limited to local execution with no network appeal. EPSS data is unavailable and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers would need local privileges, typically administrators, to read the cleartext credentials; once local access is gained, the credential can be copied or used to impersonate users.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a patched version of StudentManagement that removes the plain‑text storage path.
  • If a patch is not yet released, modify the login flow to hash passwords with a strong algorithm such as bcrypt before persisting them.
  • Restrict local filesystem permissions so that only trusted administrators can read the credential storage.
  • Reach out to Soarkey support to verify whether a fix has been issued and obtain guidance on interim protection measures.
