Credential disclosure via DbConnect connection strings in logs
Published Dec 12, 2022 · Updated Apr 14, 2025
Sensitive information exposure in DbConnect in ARC Informatique PcVue 15 through 15.2.2 allows local users to read data-source credentials. DbConnect writes data-source connection strings, including embedded credentials, into log files that are readable by users with log access. The attacker must first obtain access to those logs; exposed credentials grant unauthorized access to the underlying data sources.
