KlinikaXP Insertino: Use of Hard-coded Credentials

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-1958 is a high-severity use of hard-coded credentials vulnerability in KlinikaXP Insertino from BRI, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 3.1.0.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating KlinikaXP Insertino to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update KlinikaXP Insertino to 3.1.0.1 or a later version.
  2. Update KlinikaXP to 5.39.01.01 or a later version.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

Use of hard-coded credentials in Klinika XP and KlinikaXP Insertino allowed an unauthorized attacker access to several internal services. Critically, this included access to the FTP server that hosted the application's update packages. The attacker with these credentials could upload a malicious update file, which then may have been distributed and installed on client machines as a legitimate update. This issue affects KlinikaXP: before 5.39.01.01. and KlinikaXP Insertino before 3.1.0.1 Beside removing the hardcoded credentials from the code, previously exposed credentials were also rotated preventing further attack attempts.

The underlying weakness: Use of Hard-coded Credentials

The product contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • For outbound authentication: store passwords, keys, and other credentials 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. In Windows environments, the Encrypted File System (EFS) may provide some protection.
  • For inbound authentication: Rather than hard-code a default username and password, key, or other authentication credentials for first time logins, utilize a first login mode that requires the user to enter a unique strong password or key.
  • If the product must contain hard-coded credentials or they cannot be removed, perform access control checks and limit which entities can access the feature that requires the hard-coded credentials. For example, a feature might only be enabled through the system console instead of through a network connection.
