Pardus Domain Joiner: Invocation of Process Using Visible Sensitive Information
CVE-2026-12250 is a high-severity invocation of process using visible sensitive information vulnerability in Pardus Domain Joiner from TUBITAK BILGEM Software Technologies Research Institute, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.9 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version 0.5.4 as the first without the flaw, so updating Pardus Domain Joiner to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.15% 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 Pardus Domain Joiner to 0.5.4 or a later version.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.
