CVE-2025-4526
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 · uneditedA vulnerability was identified in Dígitro NGC Explorer up to 3.48.21. The affected element is an unknown function of the component Configuration Page. Such manipulation leads to missing password field masking. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. Upgrading to version 3.48.22 is sufficient to fix this issue. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. The action taken by the vendor is: "Review and correction of controls related to the exposure of user information in the product configuration interface." The vulnerabilities are limited to NGC Explorer and do not affect other Dígitro products, including UNA and Guardião.
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 confidenceDígitro NGC Explorer Configuration Page contains password fields that are not masked, allowing passwords to be displayed in plain text instead of masked characters. This affects versions up to 3.44.15/3.48.21 and enables shoulder surfing or screen capture attacks to capture credentials. The fix requires upgrading to version 3.48.22.

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.
-
Check the installed Digitro NGC Explorer versionLocate the version information for Digitro NGC Explorer in the application (typically found in About, Help, or System Information sections) or check the software inventory/system where it is installedAffected if The installed version is 3.44.15 or earlier, or is between 3.45 and 3.48.21 (any version up to 3.48.21)
-
Access the Configuration PageNavigate to the Configuration Page within Digitro NGC Explorer interfaceAffected if The Configuration Page is accessible in the application
-
Inspect password fields for maskingLook at any password input fields on the Configuration Page and observe whether they display masked characters (dots, asterisks) or show plain text charactersAffected if Password fields display characters in plain text rather than being masked with placeholder characters
-
Verify version against fixed releaseConfirm the exact version number installed does not equal 3.48.22 or laterAffected if The installed version is not 3.48.22 or newer
A user is affected if the installed Digitro NGC Explorer version is 3.48.21 or earlier AND the Configuration Page password fields display unmasked plain text characters.
