OZOLS: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
CVE-2026-22306 is a critical-severity cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in OZOLS from Ozols Grupa, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0 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 1.1.1233 as the first without the flaw, so updating OZOLS to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update OZOLS to 1.1.1233 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
Affected products and versions
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ozols Grupa | OZOLS | before 1.1.1233 | 1.1.1233 |

Official description
Download of code without integrity check, inclusion of functionality from untrusted control sphere, and cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in Ozols Grupa OZOLS on Windows caused by an abandoned auto-update domain. Affected component: the automatic update channel - OzolsSQL client update path, the <db>_update SQL Server Agent job (@subsystem = N'ActiveScripting') and serv_update.vbs. This issue affects OZOLS: before 1.1.1233.

The underlying weakness: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Before transmitting, encrypt the data using reliable, confidentiality-protecting cryptographic protocols.
- When using web applications with SSL, use SSL for the entire session from login to logout, not just for the initial login page.
- When designing hardware platforms, ensure that approved encryption algorithms (such as those recommended by NIST) protect paths from security critical data to trusted user applications.
