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 · unedited
Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in Logo Software Inc. TigerWings ERP allows Read Sensitive Constants Within an Executable. This issue affects TigerWings ERP: from 01.01.00 before 3.03.00.

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 · moderate confidence

TigerWings ERP versions 01.01.00 through 3.02.XX contain hardcoded credentials embedded in the executable code. Attackers who obtain access to the application binary can extract these sensitive constants (likely passwords, API keys, or encryption keys) to gain unauthorized access to the system or associated services.

MitigationReplace all hardcoded credentials with externalized credential management such as environment variables, a secure configuration vault, or a secrets management service (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager). Rotate any exposed credentials immediately and verify the remediation across all authentication paths.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify TigerWings ERP installed version
    Locate the TigerWings ERP installation directory and check for version information in the main executable file, an about dialog, or a version info file. Common methods include right-clicking the main .exe file and selecting Properties > Details, or running 'strings' or a hex editor on the binary to find version strings.
    Affected if The version number falls between 01.01.00 and 3.02.XX (any version in this range is affected)
  2. Confirm the binary contains embedded strings
    Extract printable strings from the main TigerWings ERP executable using a tool like 'strings' on Linux/Mac or BinText/Strings on Windows. Save the output to a text file for analysis.
    Affected if Strings output is present and contains suspicious patterns matching credential formats
  3. Search for hardcoded credential patterns
    Analyze the strings output from step 2 for patterns that resemble credentials: look for strings containing 'password=', 'api_key=', 'secret=', 'key=', 'token=', or long alphanumeric strings that could be encryption keys or API tokens embedded directly in the code.
    Affected if Readable credentials, API keys, passwords, or cryptographic keys are found embedded in plain text within the binary
  4. Check for repeated credential-like strings
    Search the binary for multiple occurrences of the same long random-looking string, which may indicate the same password or key is reused throughout the codebase.
    Affected if The same credential-like string appears multiple times in different locations within the executable
  5. Verify credential scope and exposure
    Examine what systems, databases, or services these hardcoded credentials would authenticate to by reviewing any associated configuration files, connection strings, or API endpoint references found alongside the credentials.
    Affected if The embedded credentials appear to provide access to production systems, databases, or external services

You are affected if your TigerWings ERP installation version is between 01.01.00 and 3.02.XX and the executable contains hardcoded passwords, API keys, or encryption keys embedded in plain text.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Replace all hardcoded credentials with externalized credential management such as environment variables, a secure configuration vault, or a secrets management service (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager). Rotate any exposed credentials immediately and verify the remediation across all authentication paths.

Recommended fix High confidence

TigerWings ERP version 3.03.00 or later

  1. Identify the current installed version of Logo Software TigerWings ERP
  2. Backup all critical data, configurations, and databases before proceeding with the upgrade
  3. Upgrade TigerWWS ERP from the current version to version 3.03.00 or later
  4. After upgrade, verify that the application runs without errors
  5. Change any credentials that may have been hardcoded in the previous version
  6. Review system logs to confirm no security warnings related to hardcoded credentials remain
  7. Test all critical business functions to ensure the upgrade did not introduce regressions
Caveat ERP upgrades may include database schema changes and deprecated features; thoroughly test in a staging environment before production deployment
