CVE-2026-41930: Vvveb Docker Hard-Coded Credentials Lead to Critical Database Access
The National Vulnerability Database has detailed CVE-2026-41930, a critical hard-coded credentials vulnerability in Vvveb versions prior to 1.0.8.2. This flaw resides in the docker-compose-apache.yaml configuration, exposing pre-configured database credentials for the bundled phpMyAdmin container. This isn’t just a misconfiguration; it’s an open door.
Attackers can exploit this by connecting directly to the exposed phpMyAdmin port. With these hard-coded credentials, they gain immediate and unrestricted read/write access to the entire Vvveb database. This means administrator password hashes, customer PII, and sensitive order data are all fair game. The implications are severe: full account takeover, data manipulation, and potentially massive data exfiltration.
This isn’t a complex zero-day; it’s a foundational security failure. The National Vulnerability Database assigns a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), underscoring the ease of exploitation (AV:N, PR:N, UI:N) and the catastrophic impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H, I:H, A:H). Defenders need to treat this with extreme urgency.
What This Means For You
- If your organization uses Vvveb, especially with Docker deployments, you need to check your version immediately. Patch to Vvveb 1.0.8.2 or newer, and critically, audit your `docker-compose-apache.yaml` for any hard-coded credentials. Assume compromise if you were running an affected version and investigate database logs for unauthorized access. Rotate all administrator credentials and notify customers if PII was stored in Vvveb.
