BindView NetInventory 1.0, when used with NetRC 1.0, allows local users to read sensitive information (passwords) by deleting the HOSTCFG._NI file and forcing an audit, which rewrites the HOSTCFG._NI to HOSTCFG.INI and stores the passwords in cleartext until the audit is complete.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy local information-disclosure issue in BindView NetInventory 1.0 used with NetRC 1.0. Under a specific audit condition, passwords may be written in cleartext temporarily. Business urgency is mainly for organizations still running this old tooling or retaining systems built from that era. Exposure is likely limited to legacy hosts where BindView NetInventory 1.0 and NetRC 1.0 remain installed. The provided affected-products metadata is incomplete, so confirm presence by software inventory and historical asset records rather than CPE matching alone. Treat this as a legacy exposure review, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize if the software is still present, if local users are not fully trusted, or if the stored credentials can access sensitive administrative functions. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire any BindView NetInventory 1.0 with NetRC 1.0 deployments.; Check vendor or successor-product guidance for supported remediation options.; Restrict local interactive access on affected legacy hosts..
