AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14804 describes a vulnerability in HUMANIST Digital Human Resources software by Bilin Software and Informatics Consultancy Inc. The issue is the use of a hard-coded cryptographic key, which allows reading sensitive constants embedded within the executable. This vulnerability affects versions from 26.0 before 26.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
An attacker can remotely exploit this vulnerability without any privileges or user interaction to read sensitive cryptographic constants embedded in the software executable. This can lead to compromise of confidentiality and integrity of protected data or communications relying on these cryptographic keys. There is no impact on availability reported. No known exploits in the wild have been documented at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently provided. Users should monitor vendor communications for updates and apply any official patches once available. Until then, consider restricting access to the affected software and sensitive environments to mitigate risk.
