CVE-2025-64308 identifies a critical security flaw in Brightpick AI's Brightpick Mission Control and Internal Logic Control web applications, where hardcoded credentials are embedded directly within the client-side JavaScript bundle. This practice violates secure coding principles (CWE-523) by exposing sensitive authentication data to anyone able to access the web application, including unauthenticated remote attackers. Since the credentials are hardcoded and shipped with all versions of the product, attackers can extract them simply by inspecting the JavaScript code delivered to the browser. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and no prior authentication, making it trivially exploitable over the network. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 reflects the high confidentiality impact, with no impact on integrity or availability. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the presence of hardcoded credentials in client code is a severe security anti-pattern that can lead to unauthorized access to backend systems or administrative functions. This exposure could facilitate further attacks such as data exfiltration, privilege escalation, or lateral movement within affected environments. The lack of patches or mitigation guidance from the vendor at the time of publication increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. The vulnerability highlights the need for secure credential management practices, including avoiding embedding secrets in client-side code and using secure vaults or environment variables instead.

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could result in unauthorized access to sensitive operational data and control functions managed by Brightpick Mission Control. Given the high confidentiality impact, attackers could extract proprietary or personal data, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The exposure of credentials may also allow attackers to manipulate internal logic controls, disrupting business processes or enabling further compromise of connected systems. Organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, or critical infrastructure that rely on Brightpick AI's solutions could face operational risks and reputational damage. Additionally, the ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction increases the likelihood of automated attacks targeting vulnerable deployments. The lack of vendor patches means that affected organizations must rely on internal mitigations, increasing the operational burden. Failure to address this vulnerability promptly could lead to regulatory penalties and loss of customer trust in the European market.

Immediate mitigation steps include conducting a thorough code review to identify and remove all hardcoded credentials from client-side JavaScript bundles. Organizations should work with Brightpick AI to obtain secure updates or patches that eliminate this practice. In the absence of vendor patches, implement network-level controls such as web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious requests targeting exposed credentials. Employ strict access controls and monitoring on backend systems accessible via these credentials to detect unauthorized access attempts. Rotate any exposed credentials immediately and replace them with dynamically managed secrets stored securely on the server side. Educate development teams on secure coding practices, emphasizing the prohibition of embedding secrets in client-side code. Additionally, implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for administrative access to reduce the risk of credential misuse. Regularly audit and monitor logs for anomalous activities related to Brightpick Mission Control. Finally, consider isolating or segmenting affected systems to limit potential lateral movement if exploitation occurs.
