CVE-2026-7313: CWE‑522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials in web services in Progress Sitefinity

Synopsis

An insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in Progress Sitefinity versions 8.0.5700 through 13.3.7651 allows a remote attacker with a valid back-end account to retrieve plain-text credentials used to connect to the Sitefinity Insight service. The flaw is reachable over the network and requires a high-privilege (administrative) account, an active Sitefinity Insight integration, and a non-default site configuration. Successful exploitation gives the attacker the plain-text credentials for the Insight service connection, enabling downstream data access and potential lateral movement into that service. A patched-image rebuild at version 13.3.7652 is 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; this is an over-the-network exposure with no need for physical or adjacent-network access.

• AuthenticationRequired

  A valid high-privilege (administrative) back-end account is required; unauthenticated access is not sufficient to trigger this vulnerability.

• Victim interactionNot required

  No victim action such as clicking a link or opening a file is needed; the attacker exploits the endpoint directly after authenticating.

• Attack complexityDetail

  The exploit is reliable and condition-free once the attacker holds valid admin credentials, though the CVE description notes that active Sitefinity Insight integration and a non-default site configuration must also be present.

Blast Radius

• The attacker retrieves plain-text credentials used by Sitefinity to authenticate to the Sitefinity Insight analytics service.
• With those credentials in hand, the attacker gains direct access to the Sitefinity Insight service, including any behavioral analytics, contact, and campaign data it holds.
• Compromise of the Insight service credentials may enable lateral movement into other systems or services that share or trust those credentials.
