CVE-2025-7358
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 · uneditedUse of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in Utarit Informatics Services Inc. SoliClub allows Authentication Abuse. This issue affects SoliClub: before 5.3.7.
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 confidenceSoliClub versions before 5.3.7 contain hardcoded credentials embedded in the application code. These credentials can be discovered through source code analysis or reverse engineering and allow attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorized administrative access to the system.

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 SoliClub versionLocate the version information in the application (typically in version files, about pages, or configuration files) and compare it to the affected range: versions before 5.3.7 are vulnerable.Affected if The installed version is lower than 5.3.7 (for example, 5.3.6, 5.3.5, etc.)
-
Search source code for hardcoded password stringsInspect application source code files (particularly configuration modules, authentication handlers, and database connection files) for strings matching patterns such as 'password=', 'pwd=', 'passwd=', or literal string assignments containing credentials.Affected if Hardcoded plaintext credentials (usernames, passwords, tokens) are found directly in the source code.
-
Search for hardcoded encryption keys or API keysReview source code for variables named 'apiKey', 'encryptionKey', 'secretKey', 'token', or similar that contain static string values rather than referencing environment variables or secure vaults.Affected if Static keys or tokens are embedded directly in the code rather than retrieved from secure storage.
-
Check for default administrative credentialsSearch the codebase for default admin accounts, hardcoded login pairs, or authentication bypass mechanisms that accept specific credentials regardless of user input.Affected if Default credentials or authentication bypass logic is found in the application code.
-
Review configuration files for embedded secretsExamine configuration files (XML, JSON, YAML, properties files) shipped with the application for embedded usernames, passwords, or API credentials.Affected if Credentials are stored in plain text within configuration files distributed with the application.
A user is affected if they are running any SoliClub version before 5.3.7 AND the application source code or configuration files contain hardcoded credentials that could be discovered through analysis.

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.
From vendor data5.3.7
Upgrade to SoliClub version 5.3.7 or later. Remove all hardcoded credentials from the codebase and replace with secure credential management (e.g., environment variables, secrets vault). Change any exposed credentials immediately.
