CVE-2026-37454
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 · uneditedInsecure Permissions vulnerability in MSI NBFoundation Service v.2.0.2506.1201 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the 3DES-ECB encryption
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 confidenceThe MSI NBFoundation Service version 2.0.2506.1201 has insecure permissions that allow a remote attacker to access the service's 3DES-ECB encryption functionality, exposing sensitive information. 3DES-ECB is a weak encryption mode that reveals patterns in encrypted data due to deterministic output for identical plaintext blocks, combined with improper access controls enabling unauthorized access.

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 installed Msi Center versionOpen Add/Remove Programs or use 'Get-ItemProperty' in PowerShell to find the installed version of Msi CenterAffected if The installed version is below 2.0.70.0
-
Verify NBFoundation Service presenceOpen Services console (services.msc) or run 'Get-Service' in PowerShell to check if the NBFoundation Service is installed and runningAffected if The NBFoundation Service v2.0.2506.1201 is present and running
-
Inspect service executable locationIn Services console, right-click NBFoundation Service, select Properties, and note the path to the executable fileAffected if The service executable exists at a path containing 'NBFoundation' and the file version is 2.0.2506.1201
-
Review service configuration permissionsUse 'sc qc' or 'Get-Service' to query the service configuration and check if improper access controls are configuredAffected if The service allows low-privileged or remote users to interact with it
A user is affected if Msi Center version is below 2.0.70.0 and the NBFoundation Service using vulnerable 3DES-ECB encryption is present and accessible

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 data2.0.70.0
Apply vendor-supplied patch for MSI NBFoundation Service when available; until then, restrict network access to the service and review what data the service processes/encrypts.
