Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-7312 is a high-severity insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in Sitefinity from Progress Software, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 14.4.8152, 15.0.8234, 15.1.8335 as the first without the flaw, so updating Sitefinity to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.44% 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

  1. Update Sitefinity to 14.4.8152 or 15.0.8234 or 15.1.8335 or 15.2.8441, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
  2. Read the advisory on community.progress.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

CWE‑522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials in web services in Progress Sitefinity version from 14.0.7700 to 14.4.8152, and 15.0.8200 to 15.0.8234, and 15.1.8300 to 15.1.8335, 15.2.8400 to 15.2.8441, 15.3.8500 to 15.3.8531, and 15.4.8600 to 15.4.8630 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain plain-text credentials used connect to Sitefinity Insight service. Successful exploitation requires active integration with Sitefinity Insight and non-default site configuration.

The underlying weakness: Insufficiently Protected Credentials

The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Use an appropriate security mechanism to protect the credentials.
  • Make appropriate use of cryptography to protect the credentials.
  • Use industry standards to protect the credentials (e.g. LDAP, keystore, etc.).
