CVE-2018-25272Public exploitNetwork attack vector

SYSTEM command execution via recoverable DBA credentials

Published Apr 22, 2026 · Updated Apr 22, 2026

Remote code execution in Raiffeisen Software GmbH ELBA5 5.8.0 allows remote attackers to run commands as SYSTEM through database access. The network database accepts default connector credentials, and a fixed AES key lets that account decrypt the DBA password in elbndba.connection. Network access to SQL Anywhere on TCP port 2640 is sufficient to call xp_cmdshell as DBA or insert an administrative backdoor account into BEDIENER.
