GHSA-V5P7-3387-GPMG
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-31 09:30 – Updated: 2025-10-08 18:30A hard-coded, non-random password for the object store (minio) of KNIME Business Hub in all versions except the ones listed below allows an unauthenticated remote attacker in possession of the password to read and manipulate swapped jobs or read and manipulate in- and output data of active jobs. It is also possible to cause a denial-of-service of most functionality of KNIME Business Hub by writing large amounts of data to the object store directly.
There are no viable workarounds therefore we strongly recommend to update to one of the following versions of KNIME Business Hub:
-
1.13.2 or later
-
1.12.3 or later
-
1.11.3 or later
-
1.10.3 or later

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-06 21:31 – Updated: 2026-05-06 21:31A flaw has been found in PicoTronica e-Clinic Healthcare System ECHS 5.7. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /cdemos/echs/priv/echs.js. This manipulation of the argument ADMIN_KEY causes hard-coded credentials. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. Upgrading to version 5.7.1 is sufficient to resolve this issue. The affected component should be upgraded. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.

Mitigation
For outbound authentication: store passwords outside of the code in a strongly-protected, encrypted configuration file or database that is protected from access by all outsiders, including other local users on the same system. Properly protect the key (CWE-320). If you cannot use encryption to protect the file, then make sure that the permissions are as restrictive as possible.
Mitigation
For inbound authentication: Rather than hard-code a default username and password for first time logins, utilize a "first login" mode that requires the user to enter a unique strong password.
Mitigation
Perform access control checks and limit which entities can access the feature that requires the hard-coded password. For example, a feature might only be enabled through the system console instead of through a network connection.
Mitigation
- For inbound authentication: apply strong one-way hashes to your passwords and store those hashes in a configuration file or database with appropriate access control. That way, theft of the file/database still requires the attacker to try to crack the password. When receiving an incoming password during authentication, take the hash of the password and compare it to the hash that you have saved.
- Use randomly assigned salts for each separate hash that you generate. This increases the amount of computation that an attacker needs to conduct a brute-force attack, possibly limiting the effectiveness of the rainbow table method.
Mitigation
For front-end to back-end connections: Three solutions are possible, although none are complete.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
