CVE-2026-22240
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 · uneditedThe vulnerability exists in BLUVOYIX due to an improper password storage implementation and subsequent exposure via unauthenticated APIs. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable users API to retrieve the plaintext passwords of all user users. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to gain full access to customers' data and completely compromise the targeted platform by logging in using an exposed admin email address and password.
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 confidenceBLUVOYIX stores user passwords in plaintext (or in a reversibly encrypted format) and exposes them through an unauthenticated users API endpoint. An attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to retrieve plaintext passwords for all users, including administrators, enabling full account takeover and platform compromise.

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.
-
Confirm Bluvoyix installationLocate the Bluvoyix application in your environment - check for installed software, running services, or web applications bearing the Bluvoyix nameAffected if Bluvoyix from Blusparkglobal is present in the environment
-
Identify the users API endpointReview your web server or application configuration files to locate the API endpoint that serves user data (typically /api/users, /users, or similar path)Affected if A users API endpoint exists and is routable in the application
-
Test unauthenticated access to the users endpointSend an HTTP GET request to the users API endpoint without providing any authentication credentials or session tokenAffected if The endpoint returns data without requiring authentication (HTTP 200 response without 401/403)
-
Inspect API response for password dataExamine the HTTP response body from the unauthenticated users endpoint for fields containing password valuesAffected if The response contains plaintext password strings or reversibly encrypted password data for any user accounts
If Bluvoyix is running with an unauthenticated users API endpoint that returns password data in plaintext or reversible format in its response, the environment is affected by CVE-2026-22240.

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 dataImmediate actions: (1) Disable or add authentication to the exposed users API endpoint, (2) Implement proper password hashing (e.g., bcrypt, Argon2) for all stored passwords, (3) Force password reset for all affected users. Long-term: conduct full security audit for similar authentication/authorization flaws.
