CVE-2026-2103

7.1 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2026-2103 is a hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability in Infor SyteLine ERP that allows attackers to decrypt stored credentials including passwords, database connections, and API keys. All installations using vulnerable versions are affected since the static keys are identical across deployments. Attackers need access to both the application binary and database to exploit this vulnerability.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Infor SyteLine ERP
Versions: All versions prior to patch (specific version range not specified in reference)
Operating Systems: Windows, Linux
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All default installations are vulnerable due to hard-coded keys in the application binary.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete compromise of all encrypted credentials leading to full system takeover, data exfiltration, and lateral movement across connected systems.

🟠

Likely Case

Credential theft enabling unauthorized access to databases, API endpoints, and user accounts within the ERP environment.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if strong network segmentation, access controls, and monitoring prevent attackers from accessing both binary and database simultaneously.

🌐 Internet-Facing: MEDIUM - While the vulnerability requires specific access conditions, internet-facing instances increase attack surface for credential harvesting.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Internal attackers or compromised accounts can more easily access both binary and database components.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: MEDIUM

Exploitation requires access to both application binary (to extract keys) and database (to access encrypted data).

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check Infor security advisory for specific patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.infor.com/company/news/press-releases/security-advisories

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Contact Infor support for patch availability 2. Apply vendor-provided patch 3. Restart application services 4. Rotate all affected credentials

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Credential Rotation

all

Rotate all encrypted credentials to new values using proper key management

Access Restriction

all

Implement strict access controls to separate application binary and database access

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to prevent simultaneous access to application binaries and database
  • Deploy additional monitoring and alerting for unusual database access patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if application uses hard-coded encryption keys by examining binary strings or consulting vendor documentation

Check Version:

Consult Infor SyteLine documentation for version check command specific to your deployment

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify patch application through version check and test that new credentials use unique encryption keys

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed decryption attempts
  • Unusual database access patterns
  • Credential extraction attempts

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected connections between application servers and databases
  • Credential harvesting patterns

SIEM Query:

source="database_logs" AND (event="decryption_failure" OR event="credential_access")
