CVE-2025-10226
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDependency on Vulnerable Third-Party Component (CWE-1395) in the PostgreSQL backend in AxxonSoft Axxon One (C-Werk) 2.0.8 and earlier on Windows and Linux allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges, execute arbitrary code, or cause denial-of-service via exploitation of multiple known CVEs present in PostgreSQL v10.x, which are resolved in PostgreSQL 17.4.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAxxonSoft Axxon One (C-Werk) 2.0.8 and earlier bundles a vulnerable PostgreSQL v10.x backend containing multiple known CVEs that were later fixed in PostgreSQL 17.4. Remote attackers can exploit these PostgreSQL vulnerabilities to escalate privileges, execute arbitrary code, or cause denial-of-service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Axxon One is installedCheck for the presence of Axxon One installation directory (commonly C:\Program Files\AxxonSoft\Axxon One on Windows or /opt/axxonsoft/axxon-one on Linux). Look for executables such as C-Werk.exe, axton.exe, or service processes named 'Axxon One' or 'C-Werk'.Affected if Axxon One software is present on the system
-
Determine Axxon One versionLocate version information in the installation: check for a version.txt, about dialog, or registry key (HKLM\SOFTWARE\AxxonSoft\AxxonOne\Version on Windows). On Linux, inspect /opt/axxonsoft/axxon-one/version or run the axxonone --version command if available.Affected if The installed version is 2.0.8 or earlier
-
Locate bundled PostgreSQL versionFind the PostgreSQL data directory bundled with Axxon One (typically under the Axxon One installation folder, such as postgresql\data or ../database). Check the PG_VERSION file inside the data directory, or run: pg_ctl --version from the bundled PostgreSQL bin folder.Affected if The PostgreSQL version shown is 10.x (such as 10.x, 10.0, 10.1, etc.) indicating the vulnerable release
-
Verify PostgreSQL is network-accessibleCheck PostgreSQL configuration files (postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf) in the bundled PostgreSQL data directory. Look for listen_addresses and pg_hba.conf entries allowing remote connections. Also check if port 5432 (default PostgreSQL) is open using netstat -an | grep 5432.Affected if PostgreSQL is configured to accept remote connections (listen_addresses set to '*' or non-localhost IP, or pg_hba.conf permits non-localhost authentication)
The environment is affected if Axxon One version 2.0.8 or earlier is installed with bundled PostgreSQL 10.x that is network-accessible, as attackers can exploit the vulnerable PostgreSQL component for privilege escalation or code execution.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate PostgreSQL to version 17.4 or later, or upgrade AxxonSoft Axxon One to a version that ships with the patched PostgreSQL release; verify application compatibility after the update.
Axxon One version containing PostgreSQL 17.4+ (check vendor release notes for 2.0.9 or later)
- Verify the current PostgreSQL version bundled with or used by Axxon One installation
- If Axxon One bundles PostgreSQL: Upgrade Axxon One to a version that ships with PostgreSQL 17.4 or later (if available)
- If PostgreSQL is standalone: Upgrade PostgreSQL to version 17.4 or later while ensuring compatibility with Axxon One
- After upgrading PostgreSQL, run any necessary database migration scripts provided by AxxonOne
- Verify the new PostgreSQL version by running: psql --version
- Restart Axxon One services to ensure the new PostgreSQL instance is utilized
