Pax Technology PAXSTORE v7.0.8_20200511171508 and lower is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. Through the PUK signature functionality, an administrator will not have access to the current p12 certificate and password. When accessing this functionality, the administrator has the option to replace the current certificate and it is not possible to view the certificate password (p12) already deployed on the platform. The replacement p12 certificate returns to users in base64 with its password, which can be accessed by non-administrator users.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2020-36127 describes an information disclosure issue in Pax Technology PAXSTORE v7.0.8_20200511171508 and lower. The source says replacement p12 certificate material and its password can be returned in base64 and accessed by non-administrator users. This could expose sensitive signing credentials where affected PAXSTORE deployments exist.

Executive priority

Prioritize review if the organization operates PAXSTORE, because disclosed certificate credentials can undermine trust in platform operations. Urgency is lower for organizations without PAXSTORE exposure, and overall severity remains uncertain due to missing CVSS and vendor fix details.

Technical view

The reported flaw is in PAXSTORE's PUK signature functionality. Although administrators cannot view the current p12 certificate password, the replacement p12 certificate is returned with its password in base64, and the source states non-administrator users can access it. No CVSS score, CWE, patch version, or mitigation is provided in the bundle.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to organizations running Pax Technology PAXSTORE v7.0.8_20200511171508 or lower, especially where non-administrator users can access the affected PUK signature workflow. The bundle does not identify CPEs or deployment prevalence.

Exploitation context

The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided bundle, and no cited source states active exploitation. The public description indicates sensitive certificate and password disclosure, but does not provide exploit maturity, authentication prerequisites beyond user role context, or observed attacks.

Researcher notes

Evidence is limited to the CVE description and listed references. Treat product/version scope as PAXSTORE v7.0.8_20200511171508 and lower because that is stated in the title and description. Do not assume broader Pax or WhatsPOS exposure without additional vendor confirmation.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Pax Technology guidance for fixed versions or official remediation.
  • Restrict access to PUK signature functionality to necessary administrators only.
  • Rotate any p12 certificate and password exposed through the affected workflow.
  • Audit non-administrator accounts with access to PAXSTORE certificate-related functions.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory PAXSTORE deployments and confirm their exact version strings.
  • Review role permissions for PUK signature and certificate replacement functions.
  • Check logs for non-administrator access to certificate replacement workflows.
  • Confirm whether exposed p12 credentials were rotated after remediation.
