CVE-2026-26218: CWE-798 Use of Hard-coded Credentials in newbee-ltd newbee-mall
newbee-mall includes pre-seeded administrator accounts in its database initialization script. These accounts are provisioned with a predictable default password. Deployments that initialize or reset the database using the provided schema and fail to change the default administrative credentials may allow unauthenticated attackers to log in as an administrator and gain full administrative control of the application.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2026-26218 in newbee-mall 1.0.0 arises from hard-coded default administrator credentials included in the database initialization script. This allows attackers to authenticate without prior authorization if the default passwords remain unchanged, leading to full administrative access. The issue is classified under CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials) and has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, no required privileges or user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation enables unauthenticated attackers to log in as administrators, resulting in complete administrative control over the application. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and its data.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available. To mitigate this vulnerability, administrators must immediately change the default administrative passwords after database initialization or reset. It is critical to avoid using the default credentials in any production environment to prevent unauthorized access.
