SUR-FBD CMMS: Use of Hard-coded Password
CVE-2025-3920 is a high-severity use of hard-coded password vulnerability in SUR-FBD CMMS, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.5 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 2025.03.27 as the first without the flaw, so updating SUR-FBD CMMS to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update SUR-FBD CMMS to 2025.03.27 or a later version.

Official description
A vulnerability was identified in SUR-FBD CMMS where hard-coded credentials were found within a compiled DLL file. These credentials correspond to a built-in administrative account of the software. An attacker with local access to the system or the application's installation directory could extract these credentials, potentially leading to a complete compromise of the application's administrative functions. This issue was fixed in version 2025.03.27 of the SUR-FBD CMMS software.

The underlying weakness: Use of Hard-coded Password
The product contains a hard-coded password, which it uses for its own inbound authentication or for outbound authentication to external components.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- For outbound authentication: store passwords outside of the code in a strongly-protected, encrypted configuration file or database that is protected from access by all outsiders, including other local users on the same system. Properly protect the key (CWE-320). If you cannot use encryption to protect the file, then make sure that the permissions are as restrictive as possible.
- For inbound authentication: Rather than hard-code a default username and password for first time logins, utilize a first login mode that requires the user to enter a unique strong password.
- Perform access control checks and limit which entities can access the feature that requires the hard-coded password. For example, a feature might only be enabled through the system console instead of through a network connection.
