CVE-2026-48241
Open ISES Tickets versions prior to 3.44.2 contain hard‑coded MySQL credentials in a publicly accessible file. Anyone who can view the source or the file on a deployed site can read the database username, password, and name. Those credentials can then be used to connect to the database from an attacker’s network.
No official fix yet. If none appears within 45 days of first tracking, this entry is removed automatically.
