## What is CVE-2026-25600?

CVE-2026-25600 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Trac d.o.o. PDBM, published on 1 Jun 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The PDBM application relies on a static, hard‑coded secret embedded 
in the PDBM.exe executable. This secret is used by the application’s 
encryption routines, including the function responsible for decrypting 
credentials stored in the product’s configuration file. Because the 
secret is constant across installations, any attacker with sufficient 
local privileges can extract it from the binary. Once obtained, the secret allows the attacker to decrypt the stored 
password and authenticate as the user defined in the configuration file.
 In the affected version, this user account is configured with 
administrative privileges, granting full access to PDBM’s management 
interface and its underlying operational functions.

Weakness: CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials)

What it is: CVE-2026-25600 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Trac d.o.o. PDBM, published on 1 Jun 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-25600 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Trac d.o.o. PDBM. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
