CVE-2026-44159
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 · uneditedTyler Identity Local (TID-L) uses documented, default administrative credentials. Users are not required to change the credentials before deployment. TID-L has not been distributed since December 2020, and has not been supported since 2021.
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 confidenceTyler Identity Local (TID-L) ships with documented, default administrative credentials that users are not forced to change during deployment, allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain full administrative access to 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 TID-L is installed or runningSearch system inventory, installed programs list, or running services for 'Tyler Identity Local', 'TID-L', or 'Tyler' identity management componentsAffected if TID-L is present on the system regardless of version
-
Check TID-L versionLocate the TID-L application or service and query its version information through the admin interface, service properties, or installed program detailsAffected if Any version of TID-L is found, since all versions ship with unchanged default credentials
-
Verify default credentials statusAttempt to access the TID-L admin interface using the documented default credentials, or review configuration files for credential statusAffected if Default administrative credentials remain unchanged or are still active
-
Review admin access logsExamine TID-L authentication and admin access logs for login events, especially from unexpected IP addresses or at unusual timesAffected if Unauthorized administrative access is evident in logs or credential use is detected
-
Assess network exposureDetermine if the TID-L admin interface is accessible from untrusted networks or the internet by reviewing firewall rules, reverse proxies, or exposed portsAffected if TID-L admin interface is reachable from outside the trusted network
An environment is affected if Tyler Identity Local is present and the default administrative credentials have not been changed or have been used by unauthorized parties.

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 dataSince TID-L has been unsupported since 2021 and is no longer distributed, organizations should immediately identify and decommission any remaining instances, or migrate to a supported identity management solution; if the product must remain in use temporarily, all default credentials must be changed immediately.
