CVE-2026-41930: Vvveb < 1.0.8.2 Hard-coded Credentials Information Disclosure via phpMyAdmin
Vvveb before version 1.0.8.2 contains a hard-coded credentials vulnerability in its docker-compose-apache.yaml configuration that allows unauthenticated attackers to access the bundled phpMyAdmin container with pre-configured database credentials. Attackers can connect to the phpMyAdmin port to gain unrestricted read and write access to the entire Vvveb database, including administrator password hashes, customer personally identifiable information, and order data, enabling account takeover and data manipulation.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Vvveb deployments before 1.0.8.2 may expose their complete application database through a bundled phpMyAdmin service using pre-configured credentials. An unauthenticated attacker could view or alter administrator password hashes, customer personal information, and order records, creating substantial risks of account takeover, privacy loss, fraud, and corrupted business data.
Executive priority
Treat internet-reachable or otherwise untrusted-network-accessible deployments as an immediate remediation priority. Prioritize containment, upgrade, credential replacement, and incident review because compromise could affect privileged accounts, regulated personal information, commercial records, and database integrity.
Technical view
The vulnerable docker-compose-apache.yaml configuration contains pre-configured database credentials usable through the bundled phpMyAdmin container. If its port is reachable, a remote unauthenticated attacker can obtain unrestricted database read and write access. The supplied record assigns CVSS 3.1 score 9.8 and identifies Vvveb versions before 1.0.8.2 as vulnerable.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely where a pre-1.0.8.2 Vvveb deployment uses the affected Docker Compose configuration and permits untrusted access to phpMyAdmin. Installations not using that configuration, or whose phpMyAdmin service is inaccessible from untrusted networks, may have reduced exposure but still require verification.
Exploitation context
The issue requires no application account or user interaction and has low stated attack complexity. The supplied record says it is not in KEV, and the provided sources do not establish active exploitation. Absence of known exploitation should not delay remediation because exposed deployments provide direct database access.
Researcher notes
The decisive exposure conditions are use of the affected Compose configuration and network reachability of phpMyAdmin. The supplied material identifies CWE-306 and a patch commit. It does not provide evidence of exploitation prevalence, affected deployment counts, or whether every installation before 1.0.8.2 exposes the service by default.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade Vvveb to version 1.0.8.2 or later using the vendor release and patch guidance.
Until upgraded, prevent untrusted network access to the bundled phpMyAdmin service.
Replace pre-configured database credentials used by the affected deployment after applying the update.
Review database and application records for unauthorized access, changes, account takeover, or data export.
Validation and detection
Identify deployed Vvveb versions and whether docker-compose-apache.yaml is used.
Determine whether the bundled phpMyAdmin service is reachable from any untrusted network.
Compare the deployed configuration with the vendor's 1.0.8.2 patch.
Confirm affected credentials were replaced and are not reused elsewhere.
Review available phpMyAdmin, database, application, and network logs for suspicious activity.

CWE-306: Credential and account abuse lookup
Authentication and credential weaknesses can make valid-account abuse and credential telemetry useful review starting points. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references authentication or credential exposure, so valid-account and credential-access review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
The CVE wording references database injection or access, so collection and exfiltration review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
The affected technology mentions containers, so container-specific ATT&CK technique review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
