CVE-2026-74891

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (8.7)—

openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain hardcoded database credentials in standalone server configuration files. Attackers on the same network can access PostgreSQL databases using well-known default credentials to retrieve sensitive data.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

AV:N sin PR/UI permite explotar desde la red. CWE-798 (credenciales hardcoded) + acceso a BD = T1078.001 (obtención de credenciales válidas) con lectura de datos sensibles (T1005).

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
