Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.4.0, aPITokenLogMiddleware logs API keys in plaintext. This allows someone with low privileges to steal user API keys and further escalate their privileges. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.

IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 stores internal REST service-account passwords in a reversible plaintext-equivalent format. An authenticated attacker who gains access to the stored credential could recover the password and obtain an administrative REST access token.

On affected platforms running Arista EOS with OpenConfig-related services (i.e., gNMI, gNSI, RESTCONF and NETCONF), sensitive requests and responses may be unintentionally logged. These may be stored on the local EOS device or recorded on remote accounting servers. Note that gRPC-based streaming via Streaming Telemetry Agent to CloudVision is not affected by this vulnerability. Examples of sensitive information include: - Sensitive CLI commands (e.g., "username bob secret myPass") - Sensitive OpenConfig YANG leafs (e.g., "system/aaa/global/tacacs/config/secret-key") This issue was discovered internally by Arista, and the company is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability in customer networks.

motionEye (mEye) is an online interface for a piece of software called "motion," which is a video surveillance program with motion detection. Prior to 0.44.0, motionEye accepts the client-controlled meye_username and meye_password_hash cookies as authentication material without server-side session validation. An unauthenticated attacker who knows a target username and corresponding hash can set the cookies manually or cause them to be loaded by submitting blank credentials through the switch-user authentication flow, after which the server authenticates the attacker as that user. The administrator username and password-hash value are stored in /etc/motioneye/motion.conf, which is globally readable by default, allowing a local shell user to obtain reusable administrator credential material. Successful impersonation can enable account lockout, password changes and persistence, data enumeration, data destruction, and data exfiltration. This issue is fixed in version 0.44.0.

Plaintext storage of a password vulnerability in Menulux Software Inc. Menulux Portal allows Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data. This issue affects Menulux Portal: before 20260903211448.

OptimiDoc Server (On-Premise) stores credentials for external services in cleartext. An authenticated administrator can view previously configured service passwords, including SMTP, FTP (for scan delivery), Active Directory (for user list import), and SharePoint credentials, in cleartext via the web administration panel page source, allowing exposure of sensitive third-party authentication data. This issue was fixed in version 26.08

Lemur manages TLS certificate creation. Prior to 1.9.2, lemur.users.service.update assigned a replacement password directly to users.password, while lemur/users/models.py registered User.hash_password only for the before_insert event. Because no before_update listener ran, administrator-initiated password changes through PUT /api/1/users/ were committed as plaintext. The affected user could no longer authenticate normally because bcrypt verification received an unhashed value. A database, backup, replica, query-log, or administrative read compromise exposed immediately usable credentials without offline cracking. The fix registers hashing for before_update and avoids rehashing values that already have a bcrypt prefix. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.2.

Streamsoft Business Intelligence versions prior to 6.8.0.0 store user passwords in plaintext within the database. This vulnerability was addressed in version 6.8.0.0, and users were required to change their passwords upon first login after the update. The issue is classified under CWE-256, indicating improper storage of sensitive information.

Quick.Cart stores hard-coded, plaintext admin credentials in a configuration file. This flaw allows attackers with access to the server file system to retrieve authentication details, potentially leading to privilege escalation. The vendor assessed the likelihood of exploitation as very low and determined that a fix is not necessary. Only version 6.7 was tested but all versions should be considered as vulnerable.

Weintek cMT3092X HMI stores user account passwords in plaintext.
