CVE-2026-25813
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 · uneditedPlaciPy is a placement management system designed for educational institutions. In version 1.0.0, The application logs highly sensitive data directly to console output without masking or redaction.
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 confidencePlaciPy version 1.0.0 contains a vulnerability where highly sensitive data is written to console logs without any masking, redaction, or sanitization. This exposes confidential information (likely student/employee PII, credentials, or institutional data) through log files, making it accessible to anyone with access to system logs or console output.

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.
-
Verify PlaciPy versionRun the package manager command to list installed packages and check if PlaciPy version 1.0.0 is installed, or use pip show placipyAffected if PlaciPy version 1.0.0 is present in the environment
-
Identify logging configurationLocate and review Placipy's logging configuration files or settings that control console/logging outputAffected if Console logging is enabled in Placipy configuration
-
Inspect console output logsExamine system or application log files where Placipy output is written, looking for any logged data fieldsAffected if Log files contain unmasked sensitive information such as PII, credentials, or institutional data written by Placipy
-
Check for sensitive data exposureSearch log files for patterns matching common sensitive data (names, IDs, passwords, personal information) without masking charactersAffected if Sensitive data appears in logs without redaction or masking (e.g., no asterisks or placeholders)
-
Audit logging statementsReview Placipy source code or configuration for log statements that handle user dataAffected if Log statements output sensitive fields without applying any redaction or format placeholders
If PlaciPy 1.0.0 is installed with console logging enabled and logs contain unmasked sensitive data, the environment is affected by this CVE.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataImplement proper logging controls: audit all log statements, identify sensitive data fields, and apply masking/redaction (e.g., replacing characters with asterisks or using format string placeholders) before logging. Alternatively, configure logging to exclude sensitive fields entirely or route sensitive operations to secure, access-controlled log sinks.
