ERP Optima: Incorrect Privilege Assignment
CVE-2025-68420 is a high-severity incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in ERP Optima from Comarch, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 2026.4 as the first without the flaw, so updating ERP Optima to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.11% 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 ERP Optima to 2026.4 or a later version.

Official description
Comarch ERP Optima client connects to a database using a high privileged account regardless of an application account to which a user logs in. It is possible for a local attacker who controls the client process to dump it's memory, extract credentials and use them to gain a privileged access to the database. In order to exploit this vulnerability, the client application has to be already configured, but a user does not have to be logged in. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.4

The underlying weakness: Incorrect Privilege Assignment
A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
- Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
