CVE-2026-40550

Privilege Escalation in multiple BinSoft products

Published Apr 28, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Multiple BinSoft products are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to excessive database privileges assigned to the user used by the application. An attacker with access to any running application instance connected to the backend server can extract database credentials from the application’s memory by inspecting the running process. While ability to retrieve credentials from memory is the expected behavior, the exposed credentials grant administrative access to the database, exceeding the privileges required for normal application functionality. This allows an attacker to perform actions beyond those permitted through the application interface.

The described issue affects all published versions. The vendor stated that this issue is a direct result of the architecture model in which the software is distributed, and that it will be mitigated with a corrected installation manual.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

Multiple BinSoft products expose excessive database privileges through the user account used by the application. An attacker who can observe any running instance of the affected software connected to the backend can inspect the process memory and extract the database credentials stored there. Although retrieving credentials from memory may be expected in some scenarios, the disclosed credentials grant administrative access to the database, far beyond the privileges required for normal application functionality. This enables the attacker to perform administrative database actions that go beyond the application interface.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability impacts all BinSoft products listed as vendor product: mpCRM, mpFaktura, mpFirma, mpFirma ERP, mpGabinet, mpPOS, mpSekretariat and mpWarsztat. All released versions of these products are affected; no specific version restrictions are mentioned.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score of 0.0017 indicates a very low exploitation probability, while the issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The most likely attack path involves an attacker gaining local or remote access to a running application instance and probing the process memory to retrieve database credentials, which is then leveraged to obtain administrative database actions. Adequate hardening of process visibility and privilege reductions can mitigate this risk.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Follow BinSoft's corrected installation manual to install the software with restricted database user privileges.
  • Configure the application’s database user with the minimum privileges required for normal operation to limit potential damage from compromised credentials.
  • Harden the operating system or container environment by restricting access to process memory and running the application with the least privileges needed.
