CVE-2026-26218
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 · uneditednewbee-mall includes pre-seeded administrator accounts in its database initialization script. These accounts are provisioned with a predictable default password. Deployments that initialize or reset the database using the provided schema and fail to change the default administrative credentials may allow unauthenticated attackers to log in as an administrator and gain full administrative control of the application.
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 confidenceThe newbee-mall application ships with a database initialization script that pre-seeds administrator accounts with predictable default passwords. When deployments initialize or reset the database using this schema without changing the default credentials, any unauthenticated attacker can log in with administrative privileges and gain full control of the application.

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.
-
Identify if newbee-mall application is deployedLocate application files for newbee-mall (look for directories or archives containing 'newbee-mall' or 'newbee' in the name). Check web server document roots, application deployment directories, or cloned repositories.Affected if The newbee-mall application (version 1.0.0 or earlier) is present in the environment.
-
Locate database initialization scriptsSearch for SQL scripts, database migration files, or setup scripts within the newbee-mall codebase. Common locations include /sql/, /db/, /database/, /init/ directories, or files named with patterns like init.sql, setup.sql, create_tables.sql, or seed.sql.Affected if Database initialization scripts exist in the application deployment.
-
Inspect scripts for hardcoded admin credentialsOpen the database initialization scripts and search for INSERT or CREATE USER statements related to administrative accounts. Look for hardcoded password values in the script content.Affected if The initialization scripts contain hardcoded passwords for admin or administrator accounts.
-
Check if database was initialized with default credentialsConnect to the application's database and query for admin user accounts (typically in tables named admin, users, user, or administrators). Attempt to authenticate to the application using common default admin usernames found in the initialization scripts along with the passwords stored in those scripts.Affected if Admin accounts exist in the database that were created using the hardcoded passwords from the initialization scripts, and those credentials still work for authentication.
-
Verify default admin accounts are still activeLog into the application with the default admin credentials found in the initialization scripts. Check the admin panel or user management section to confirm the account has administrative privileges.Affected if The default admin account created during database initialization remains active and accessible with the default password.
You are affected if the newbee-mall application database has been initialized using the provided scripts and the default administrator credentials have not been changed, allowing authentication with predictable passwords.

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 dataImmediately change or remove the pre-seeded administrator credentials in all affected database instances, and establish a secure credential provisioning process that forces password changes during initial setup.
