CVE-2026-7312: CWE‑522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials in web services in Progress Sitefinity

Synopsis

Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability in Progress Sitefinity allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to retrieve plain-text credentials used by the application to connect to the Sitefinity Insight service. The vulnerability is reachable over the network with no authentication required and no victim interaction needed, making it trivially exploitable from the internet. Successful exploitation gives an attacker the plain-text credentials for the Sitefinity Insight integration, enabling account takeover of that service and follow-on access to data it holds. Patched-image rebuilds at versions 14.4.8152, 15.0.8234, 15.1.8335, 15.2.8441, and 15.3.8531 are available on HarborGuard for environments running an affected version.

HarborGuard Coverage

Exploit Conditions

• Network reachabilityRequired

  The attacker must reach the Sitefinity web service over the network; no prior foothold on the host is needed.

• AuthenticationNot required

  No account or session token is required; the vulnerable endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated remote requests.

• Victim interactionNot required

  Exploitation is fully attacker-driven and requires no action from any user or administrator of the target system.

• Attack complexityDetail

  Attack complexity is Low, meaning the exploit is reliable and requires no race condition, special memory layout, or non-standard environmental prerequisite, though successful credential exposure additionally requires active Sitefinity Insight integration and a non-default site configuration.

Blast Radius

• Attacker reads plain-text credentials used by Sitefinity to authenticate against the Sitefinity Insight service.
• With those credentials, the attacker authenticates directly to Sitefinity Insight and accesses visitor analytics, behavioral tracking data, and audience segment records stored there.
• Scope is marked Changed (S:C) in the CVSS vector, meaning impact extends beyond the vulnerable Sitefinity instance itself to the connected Sitefinity Insight service and its data.
• Confidentiality and Integrity of the Sitefinity Insight service are both rated High, so the attacker can read stored data and modify records in that service; Availability of the primary Sitefinity instance is not directly affected by this vulnerability.
